Bases: Diagnostic

Endlich CAT Diagnostic

This diagnostic is targeted at the dynamic instabilities present on the anticyclonic side of the jet whereby turbulence is most intense and commonly present [Endlich1964]. It is defined as,

\[\left| \mathbf{v} \right| \left| \frac{ \partial \psi }{ \partial z } \right|\]

where \(\mathbf{v}\) is the horizontal wind vector, \(\left| \mathbf{v} \right|\) is the wind speed and \(\psi\) is the horizontal wind direction.

Parameters:

• u_wind (DataArray) – Zonal wind speeds in m/s

• v_wind (DataArray) – Meridional wind speeds in m/s

• geopotential (DataArray) – Geopotential in m^2/s

__init__(u_wind: DataArray, v_wind: DataArray, geopotential: DataArray) → None

Parameters:

• u_wind (DataArray)

• v_wind (DataArray)

• geopotential (DataArray)

Return type:

None
