1.8 CF Standard Names: Air Pseudo Equivalent Potential Temperature (air_pseudo_equivalent_potential_temperature)

Record Label : air_pseudo_equivalent_potential_temperature

Record Title : Air Pseudo Equivalent Potential Temperature

CF Standard Name : air_pseudo_equivalent_potential_temperature

Record Description : The pseudoequivalent potential temperature is the temperature a parcel of air would have if it is expanded by a pseudoadiabatic (irreversible moist-adiabatic) process to zero pressure and afterwards compressed by a dry-adiabatic process to a standard pressure, typically representative of mean sea level pressure. Reference: AMS Glossary http://glossary.ametsoc.org/wiki/Pseudoequivalent_potential_temperature. A pseudoadiabatic process means that the liquid water that condenses is assumed to be removed as soon as it is formed. Reference: AMS Glossary http:/glossary.ametsoc.org/wiki/Pseudoadiabatic_process. To specify the standard pressure to which the quantity applies, provide a scalar coordinate variable with the standard name reference_pressure.
