Class HybridSigmaPressure

java.lang.Object
  ucar.unidata.geoloc.vertical.VerticalTransformImpl
      ucar.unidata.geoloc.vertical.HybridSigmaPressure

All Implemented Interfaces:

VerticalTransform

public class HybridSigmaPressure
extends VerticalTransformImpl

Create a 3D height(z,y,x) array using the netCDF CF convention formula for "Hybrid Sigma Pressure".

pressure(x,y,z) = a(z)*p0 + b(z)*surfacePressure(x,y) or

pressure(x,y,z) = ap(z) + b(z)*surfacePressure(x,y)
