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
