`pytmosph3r.atmosphere.atmosphere`

Module Contents

class Atmosphere(name)[source]

Bases: pytmosph3r.grid.Grid3D

Base class for building atmospheric models.

property n_latitudes

property n_longitudes

property n_vertical

molar_mass: Molar mass (in kg/mol).

pressure: Pressure (in Pa).

max_pressure: Max (bottom) pressure in the model (in Pa). Optional if using an input file.

min_pressure: Min (top) pressure in the model (in Pa). Optional if using an input file.

temperature: Temperature (in K).

gas_mix_ratio: Volume mixing ratios of each gas.

aerosols: Dictionary for aerosols. Each aerosol is itself a dictionary of which each element indicates the MMR, the effective radius and the condensate density of the aerosol.

p_min_aerosols: For pressures under p_min_aerosols, all aerosols MMRs are set to 0.

recompute_molar_mass = True: Recompute molar mass from the gas mix ratios (activated by default) using the method exo_k.Gas_mix.molar_mass(). If you give Atmosphere() a molar mass, this will be set to False. If you change your mind later, simply set this parameter again to True to recompute it automatically.

rcp: float = 0.28: Default rcp value to be used in emission mode

compute_molar_mass()[source]: Compute molar_mass (kg/mol).

build(model=None)[source]: Ensure that all data has been computed and formatted in arrays of the same shape. Handle different configurations of pressure, temperature and chemistry.

compute_altitude()[source]: Compute altitude z, scaleheight H and gravity g at coordinates on grid.
