                                  throws visad.VisADException

Obtains the RealType associated with this class.

Returns:

The RealType associated with this class.

Throws:

visad.VisADException - Couldn't perform necessary VisAD operation.

getRealTupleType

public static visad.RealTupleType getRealTupleType()
                                            throws visad.VisADException

Obtains the RealTupleType associated with this class.

Returns:

The RealTupleType associated with this class.

createTemperature

public static visad.Data createTemperature(visad.Data pressure,
                                           visad.Data rSat)
                                    throws visad.TypeException,
                                           visad.UnitException,

                                           java.rmi.RemoteException

Creates an AirTemperature data object from data objects of pressure and saturation mixing-ratio.

Parameters:

pressure - The air pressure data object.

rSat - The saturation mixing-ratio data object.

Returns:

The air temperature data object computed from the pressure and temperature data objects. The type of the object will be that of the arguments after standard promotion.

Throws:

visad.TypeException - At least one argument has incorrect type.

visad.UnitException - Inappropriate unit argument.

visad.VisADException - Couldn't create necessary VisAD object.

java.rmi.RemoteException - Java RMI failure.
