momlevel.spice.flament module¶
flament.py – P. Flament (2002) Spiciness calculation
- momlevel.spice.flament.spice(thetao, so)¶
Function to calculate seawater spiciness
This function uses the Flament 2002 methodology for calculating seawater spiciness:
Flament, P. 2002: A state variable for characterizing water masses and their diffusive stability: spiciness. Progress in Oceanography, 54, 493–501. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0079-6611(02)00065-4
- Parameters:
thetao (numpy.ndarray) – Sea water potential temperature in deg C
so (numpy.ndarray) – Sea water practical salinity in PSU
- Returns:
Sea water spiciness, unitless
- Return type:
numpy.ndarray
