From 92b32c570666f99a9928a961aa5d7b0ec84dfefd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: leilabbb Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2017 12:10:41 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] variable description changes to met_barpres MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit met_barpres function converts the measured barometer pressure in mbar to air pressure in Pa. The variable description should read air pressure not barometric pressure because it is not corrected for sensor height. list of changes made; - changed “OOI Level 1 Barometric Pressure core data product, which is calculated by scaling the measured barometric pressure from mbar to Pascals.“ to “OOI Level 1 Air Pressure core data product, which is calculated by scaling the measured barometer pressure from mbar to Pascals.” -changed Barometric Pressure (BARPRES_L0) [mbar] to Barometer Pressure (BARPRES_L0) [mbar] -changed Barometric pressure (BARPRES_L1) [Pa] to Air pressure (BARPRES_L1) [Pa] - under the air_density function changed barometric pressure (BARPRES_L0) [mbar] to barometer pressure (BARPRES_L0) [mbar] --- ion_functions/data/met_functions.py | 10 +++++----- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/ion_functions/data/met_functions.py b/ion_functions/data/met_functions.py index 5dc7b43..fc878d3 100755 --- a/ion_functions/data/met_functions.py +++ b/ion_functions/data/met_functions.py @@ -208,8 +208,8 @@ def met_barpres(mbar): """ Description: - OOI Level 1 Barometric Pressure core data product, which is calculated - by scaling the measured barometric pressure from mbar to Pascals. + OOI Level 1 Air Pressure core data product, which is calculated + by scaling the measured barometer pressure from mbar to Pascals.
