Add Weisman-Klemp analytical sounding function #1676
Conversation
|
The way I wrote this function has all the parameters as keyword arguments, and doesn't accept any normal arguments. The lack of normal arguments makes it a strange type of function. Is the formatting of the keyword arguments (as is) acceptable, or is there a better 8000 way to do it? Another option is to remove the keyword arguments and make it a static function, but in my opinion, it severely limits the flexibility of the function. I am also unsure how to go about testing this since it is not a simple I/O function. Preliminarily, I was thinking of calculating CAPE, LCL, LFC, EL, and/or other parameters and comparing them to known values from this thermodynamic sounding. However, that would require the test function to use metpy calc functions which is somewhat recursive and might not be favorable? |

@aschueth Thanks for coming back around to this and apologies on the delayed response.

As the title suggests, I added the Weisman-Klemp analytical sounding function to calc/indices.py.
