ECMWF Conversions

radtran.climatologies.ecmwf_conversions.pressure_vmr_to_altitude_nd(lat, lon, mjd, vmr, pressure, alt)

Converts a single profile on a vmr/pressure grid to a numberdensity/altitude grid.

Parameters:

lat : scalar

Latitude in degrees in range (-90,90)

lon : scalar

Longitude in degrees in range(0,360) or (-180,180)

mjd : scalar

Modified julian date

vmr : numpy array

Volume mixing ratio of the profile

pressure : numpy array

Pressure levels the profile is on, in Pa

alt : numpy array

Altitudes to calculate the resulting number density on in m
