Functions#

wind_speed_conus_summer_99(altitude, latitude)

Returns the 99th-percentile wind speed magnitude over the continental United States (CONUS) in July-Aug. Aggregate of data from 1972 to 2019.

wind_speed_world_95(altitude, latitude, day_of_year)

Gives the 95th-percentile wind speed as a function of altitude, latitude, and day of year.

tropopause_altitude(latitude, day_of_year)

Gives the altitude of the tropopause (as determined by the altitude where lapse rate >= 2 C/km) as a function of

Gives the altitude of the tropopause (as determined by the altitude where lapse rate >= 2 C/km) as a function of latitude and day of year.

Parameters:

  • latitude – Latitude, in degrees north

  • day_of_year – Day of year (Julian day), in range 0 to 365

Returns: The tropopause altitude, in meters.
