improver.cli.vertical_updraught module

CLI to generate maximum vertical updraught from CAPE and max precip rate data.

process(*cubes, model_id_attr=None)[source]

Module to generate maximum vertical updraught.

Call the VerticalUpdraught plugin to calculate maximium vertical updraught.

Parameters:
  • cubes (iris.cube.CubeList or list of iris.cube.Cube) –

    containing:
    cape (iris.cube.Cube):

    Cube of convective_available_potential_energy, valid at the start of the precip time window.

    precip (iris.cube.Cube):

    Cube of lwe_precipitation_rate_max, over a time window.

  • model_id_attr (str) – Name of the attribute used to identify the source model for blending.

Returns:

Cube of vertical updraught (m s-1).

Return type:

iris.cube.Cube
