Calculation of the Gradient-Richardson-Number. The number represents the stability of the atmosphere. Negative values signify unstable conditions, positive values signify stable conditions.

turb_flux_grad_rich_no(...)

# S3 method for numeric
turb_flux_grad_rich_no(t1, t2, z1 = 2, z2 = 10, v1, v2, p1, p2, ...)

# S3 method for weather_station
turb_flux_grad_rich_no(weather_station, ...)

Arguments

...

Additional parameters passed to later functions.

t1

Temperature at lower height (e.g. height of anemometer) in degrees C.

t2

Temperature at upper height in degrees C.

z1

Lower height of measurement (e.g. height of anemometer) in m.

z2

Upper height of measurement in m.

v1

Windspeed at lower height (e.g. height of anemometer) in m/s.

v2

Windspeed at upper height in m/s.

p1

Pressure at lower height (e.g. height of anemometer) in hPa.

p2

Pressure at upper height in hPa.
