Constructor Details

MixingRatioProfileCell

public MixingRatioProfileCell(DataReference tempProfileRef,
 Field noData)
                       throws VisADException,
RemoteException

Constructs from data references.

Parameters:

tempProfileRef - The input temperature profile reference.

noData - The missing data value.

Throws:

VisADException - if a VisAD failure occurs.

RemoteException - if a Java RMI failure occurs.

Method Details

compute

protected Data compute(Data[] datums)
                throws TypeException,
VisADException,
RemoteException

Computes the output profile of water-vapor mixing-ratio. If the input temperature profile is the in-situ temperature, then the returned profile is the saturation mixing-ratio; if the input profile is the dew-point temperature, then the returned profile is the actual water- vapor mixing-ratio.

Specified by:

compute in class ComputeCell

Parameters:

datums - The input data. datums[0] is the input temperature profile.

Returns:

The corresponding water-vapor mixing-ratio profile.

Throws:

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

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

VisADException - if a VisAD failure occurs.

RemoteException - if a Java RMI failure occurs.
