• Better explanation of T0

Full Changelog: 2.0.0...2.1.0

2.0.0

Version 2.0.0

Standardisation

• I/O variables converted into International System of Units (SI) (e.g., K)
• Docstrings standardised in their descriptions (e.g., inputs as float arrays) and references
• Variable names standardised across function declarations (i.e., t2m vs t2k vs t_k → now t2_k)
• Use of temperature converter functions
• Input variables are limited to those explicitly needed in the function formula (see e.g., calculate_normal_effective_temperature function)

New Functions

• scale_windspeed function to scale 10m wind speed to height h with h < 10m
• calculate_nonsaturation_vapour_pressure to calculate vapour pressure at a given relative humidity and air temperature
• calculate_wbgt_simple function renamed
• calculate_normal_effective_temperature function renamed

Improvements

• thermofeel library docstring lists computed variables in alphabetical order
• the cosine of the solar zenith angle now computed via the earthkit-meteo <https://github.com/ecmwf/earthkit-meteo>_ library
• calculate_bgt function is calculated via a 4x faster formula
• calculate_saturation_vapour_pressure_multiphase formulas replaced with those used in the IFS
• changeable threshold in approximate_dsrp function (set to 0.1 by default)
• invalidity outside input variables range specified in calculate_wind_chill function docstring

Bug Fixes

• fixed approximate_dsrp to avoid fdir being overwritten with dsrp when calculating MRT
• fixed calculate_wbgt_simple constant value and vapour pressure calculated from non-saturated formula
• fixed calculate_bgt wind speed at 1.1m in input
• fixed calculate_mrt_from_bgt wind speed at 1.1m in input
• fixed calculate_normal_effective_temperature wind speed at 1.2m in input
• fixed calculate_apparent_temperature wind speed at 10m in input; vapour pressure calculated from non-saturated formula
• fixed calculate_wind_chill wind speed in km/h and operation symbols in main formula
• fixed calculate_heat_index_simplified a wrong sign and missing constant value in hiarray; hi set to 2m air temperature when the latter is below 20°C
• fixed fahrenheit_to_kelvin converter function

1.3.0

Multiple fixes and documentation

1.2.0

Introduced optional Numba JIT optimisation of functions for significant speedup.
Improved some functions to make them compilable and vectorisable by Numba.
Remove __wrap function, as such many functions now require numpy arrays as input.
Fixed calculate_heat_index_adjusted.
Added calculate_wbt_dj
More and improved examples.
Improved documentation.

1.1.3

Update to the Documentation
Small changes to the an example file in the examples folder and updating the documentation for read the docs.
