  1. virtual temperature from temperature

    symbol

    description

    unit

    variable name

    \(M_{air}\)

    molar mass of total air

    \(\frac{g}{mol}\)

    molar_mass {:}

    \(M_{dry\_air}\)

    molar mass of dry air

    \(\frac{g}{mol}\)

    \(T\)

    temperature

    \(K\)

    temperature {:}

    \(T_{v}\)

    virtual temperature

    \(K\)

    virtual_temperature {:}

    The pattern : for the dimensions can represent {vertical}, {latitude,longitude}, {latitude,longitude,vertical}, {time}, {time,vertical}, {time,latitude,longitude}, {time,latitude,longitude,vertical}, or no dimensions at all.

    \[T_{v} = \frac{M_{dry\_air}}{M_{air}}T\]
