earthkit.meteo.vertical.fieldlist.geopotential_from_geopotential_height

earthkit.meteo.vertical.fieldlist.geopotential_from_geopotential_height(gh)

Compute geopotential from geopotential height.

Parameters:

gh (FieldList|Field) – Geopotential height (m).

Returns:

Geopotential (m2/s2). The result has the same type as the input (FieldList or Field).

Return type:

FieldList|Field

Notes

The computation is based on the following definition:

\[z = gh \cdot g\]

where \(g\) is the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the Earth (see earthkit.meteo.constants.g).
