Equivalent Potential Temperature - Formula

Formula

The formula for is the following:

Where:

  • = equivalent temperature
  • = Temperature of air at pressure
  • = pressure at the point (in same units as )
  • = standard reference pressure (1000 mbar or 100 kPa)
  • = specific gas constant for air (287 J/(kg·K))
  • = specific heat of dry air at constant pressure (1004 J/(kg·K))
  • = latent heat of evaporation (2400 kJ/kg {at 25 °C} to 2600 kJ/kg {at −40 °C})
  • = mixing ratio of water vapor mass per mass of dry air (g/Kg or in Kg/Kg.)

Famous quotes containing the word formula:

    I feel like a white granular mass of amorphous crystals—my formula appears to be isomeric with Spasmotoxin. My aurochloride precipitates into beautiful prismatic needles. My Platinochloride develops octohedron crystals,—with a fine blue florescence. My physiological action is not indifferent. One millionth of a grain injected under the skin of a frog produced instantaneous death accompanied by an orange blossom odor.
    Lafcadio Hearn (1850–1904)

    Hidden away amongst Aschenbach’s writing was a passage directly asserting that nearly all the great things that exist owe their existence to a defiant despite: it is despite grief and anguish, despite poverty, loneliness, bodily weakness, vice and passion and a thousand inhibitions, that they have come into being at all. But this was more than an observation, it was an experience, it was positively the formula of his life and his fame, the key to his work.
    Thomas Mann (18751955)

    I take it that what all men are really after is some form or perhaps only some formula of peace.
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
