earthkit.meteo.vertical.xarray.geopotential_from_geopotential_height¶
- earthkit.meteo.vertical.xarray.geopotential_from_geopotential_height(gh)¶
Compute geopotential height from geopotential.
- Parameters:
gh (
xr.DataArray) – Geopotential height (m)- Returns:
Geopotential height (m)
- Return type:
xr.DataArray
The computation is based on the following definition:
\[z = gh g\]where \(g\) is the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the Earth (see
earthkit.meteo.constants.g)
