pressure2height

typhon.physics.pressure2height(p, T=None)[source]

Convert pressure to height based on the hydrostatic equilibrium.

\[z = \int -\frac{\mathrm{d}p}{\rho g}\]
Parameters

  • p (ndarray) – Pressure [Pa].

  • T (ndarray) – Temperature [K]. If None the standard atmosphere is assumed.
