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

    “But suppose, asks the student of the professor, we follow all your structural rules for writing, what about that “something else” that brings the book alive? What is the formula for that? The formula for that is not included in the curriculum.”
    —Fannie Hurst (1889–1968)

    “The formula for achieving a successful relationship is simple: you should treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster.”
    —Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
