improver.cli.wet_bulb_freezing_level module

CLI to extract wet-bulb freezing level from wet-bulb temperature on height levels

process(wet_bulb_temperature)[source]

Module to generate wet-bulb freezing level.

The height level at which the wet-bulb temperature first drops below 273.15K (0 degrees Celsius) is extracted from the wet-bulb temperature cube starting from the ground and ascending through height levels.

In grid squares where the temperature never goes below 273.15K the highest height level on the cube is returned. In grid squares where the temperature starts below 273.15K the lowest height on the cube is returned.

Parameters:

wet_bulb_temperature (iris.cube.Cube) – Cube of wet-bulb air temperatures over multiple height levels.

Returns:

Cube of wet-bulb freezing level.

Return type:

iris.cube.Cube
