Constructor Details

CinBean

public CinBean(BeanNetwork network)

Constructs from the network in which this bean will be a component.

Parameters:

network - The bean network.

Method Details

setBuoyancyProfile

public void setBuoyancyProfile(Field buoyProfile)
                        throws TypeException,
VisADException,
RemoteException

Sets the input, buoyancy profile. Because this bean only has one input, an immediate computation of the output property is performed. A PropertyChangeEvent is fired for the output property if it differs from the previous value.

Parameters:

buoyProfile - The input buoyancy-profile.

Throws:

TypeException - if the domain quantity of the profile isn't pressure or the range quantity of the profile isn't massic volume.

VisADException - if a VisAD failure occurs.

RemoteException - if a Java RMI failure occurs.

setInitialPressure

public void setInitialPressure(Real initPres)
                        throws TypeException,
VisADException,
RemoteException

Sets the initial, starting pressure.

Parameters:

initPres - The initial, starting pressure.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the argument is null.

TypeException - if the pressure has the wrong type.

VisADException - if a VisAD failure occurs.

RemoteException - if a Java RMI failure occurs.

setLfcPressure

public void setLfcPressure(Real lfcPres)
                    throws TypeException,
VisADException,
RemoteException

Sets the pressure at the Level of Free Convection (LFC).

Parameters:

lfcPres - The pressure at the LFC.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the argument is null.

TypeException - if the pressure has the wrong type.

VisADException - if a VisAD failure occurs.

RemoteException - if a Java RMI failure occurs.

getCin

public Real getCin()

Returns the value of the output Convective INhibition (CIN) property.

Returns:

The CIN value.
