Scripts for Chapter 2
Thermodynamics
- SoundingPlot.py : Reads Earth and planetary soundings (temperature and other thermodynamic quantities) and plots vertical profiles of basic and derived quantitites.
- satvp_graph.py: Plots saturation vapor pressure vs. temperature for a gas of your choice.
- OneComponentCond.py: Computes and plots the temperature vs. pressure for a one-component saturated atmosphere (i.e. the "one component moist adiabat").
- MoistAdiabat.py: Computes and plots the temperature and the condensible substance concentration vs. pressure, for a two component mixture consisting of a non-condensible substance (e.g. dry air) and a condensible substance (e.g. water vapor).
