earthkit.meteo.vertical.fieldlist.geopotential_height_from_geopotential

earthkit.meteo.vertical.fieldlist.geopotential_height_from_geopotential(z)

Compute geopotential height from geopotential.

Parameters:

z (FieldList|Field) – Geopotential (m2/s2).

Returns:

Geopotential height (m). 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:

\[gh = \frac{z}{g}\]

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