1.8 CF Standard Names: Air Pseudo Equivalent Temperature (air_pseudo_equivalent_temperature)

Record Label : air_pseudo_equivalent_temperature

Record Title : Air Pseudo Equivalent Temperature

CF Standard Name : air_pseudo_equivalent_temperature

Record Description : The pseudoequivalent temperature is also known as the adiabatic equivalent temperature. It is the temperature that an air parcel would have after undergoing the following process: dry-adiabatic expansion until saturated; pseudoadiabatic expansion until all moisture is precipitated out; dry-adiabatic compression to the initial pressure. Reference: AMS Glossary http://glossary.ametsoc.org/wiki/Equivalent_temperature. This quantity is distinct from the isobaric equivalent temperature, also known as equivalent temperature, which has the standard name air_equivalent_temperature.
