Write a Jython function for IDV and export as IDV Formula in GUI

Define a function to calculate Moist Static Energy from Temperature, Specific Humidity and Geopotential Height.



In [1]:

    
def moistStaticEnergy(T,Q,GZ):
    """ Calculates Moist Static Energy with Temperature, Specific Humidity and Geopotential Height. """
    from ucar.visad.quantities import SpecificHeatCapacityOfDryAirAtConstantPressure,LatentHeatOfEvaporation
    cp=SpecificHeatCapacityOfDryAirAtConstantPressure.newReal()
    L=LatentHeatOfEvaporation.newReal()
    return cp*T+L*Q+Z

Above function was created for use in this session, it will not be available for IDV in next session so let us save it to the IDV Jython library.



In [2]:

    
saveJython(moistStaticEnergy)

Create a IDV formula, once created it will be in the list of formulas in IDV. The arguments to saveFormula are (formulaid,description,functionastring,formula categories). formula categories can be a list of categories or just a single category specified by a string.



In [3]:

    
saveFormula("Moist Static Energy","Moist Static Energy from T, Q, GZ","moistStaticEnergy(T,Q,GZ)",["Grids","Grids-MapesCollection"])

Check if the formula was created in IDV GUI . At anytime to show a IDV window from notebook use function `showIdv()`. Currently some displays cannot be made when using GUI from notebook, will be implemented in future.



In [4]:

    
showIdv()
