earthkit.meteo.vertical.array.geopotential_from_geopotential_height
- earthkit.meteo.vertical.array.geopotential_from_geopotential_height(h)
Compute geopotential height from geopotential.
- Parameters:
z (
array-like) – Geopotential (m2/s2)- Returns:
Geopotential height (m)
- Return type:
array-like
The computation is based on the following definition:
\[z = gh\; g\]where \(g\) is the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the Earth (see
meteo.constants.g)
