Fix q_vector units w/ default static stability #3690
base: main
Are you sure you want to change the base?
Conversation
There unfortunately is, as Holton (2013) does not include the 1/sigma factor, which was unfortunately the (undocumented except in the issue tracker) intended behavior when it was originally written. Though, I'm not sure if that difference of definition is enough to stick with the old behavior or not! EDIT: See #3689 (comment) for a much better discussion on this. Based on this insight, I would concur that the best move is likely moving away from the prior behavior and do something like this PR. |

Clarify the optional role of static_stability and how that maps to various GEMPAK calculations. Also ensure that values for `static_stability` are properly checked for dimensionality.
Helps make clear that this is an option for this calculation. Addresses part of Unidata#3689.
