Constructor Detail

VirtualTemperatureProfileCell

public VirtualTemperatureProfileCell(visad.DataReference tempProfileRef,
                                     visad.DataReference moistRef)
                              throws visad.VisADException,
                                     java.rmi.RemoteException

Constructs from data references. The temperature argument should refer to a Field and the moisture argument should refer to either a Field or a Real. The Field's rangetype or the Real's RealType should be compatible with either DewPoint.getRealType() or WaterVaporMixingRatio.getRealType().

Parameters:

tempProfileRef - The input temperature profile reference.

moistRef - The input moisture reference.

Throws:

visad.VisADException - if a VisAD failure occurs.

java.rmi.RemoteException - if a Java RMI failure occurs.

Method Detail

compute

protected visad.Data compute(visad.Data[] datums)
                      throws visad.TypeException,
                             visad.VisADException,
                             java.rmi.RemoteException

Computes the (AirPressure -> VirtualTemperature) profile corresponding to an (AirPressure -> AirTemperature) profile and a moisture profile. The moisture profile may be either (AirPressure -> DewPoint) or (AirPressure -> WaterVaporMixingRatio).

Specified by:

compute in class ComputeCell

Parameters:

datums - The input data corresponding to the data references of construction: datums[0] is the temperature profile and datums[1] is the moisture profile.

Returns:

The corresponding virtual temperature profile.

Throws:

java.lang.ClassCastException - if an input data reference has the wrong type of data object.

visad.TypeException - if a VisAD data object has the wrong type.

visad.VisADException - if a VisAD failure occurs.

java.rmi.RemoteException - if a Java RMI failure occurs.
