Computes the scale height of a quantity measured by the O2 sounder. See also fitLapseRate and fitLapseRateAndScaleHeightASDM.

Usage: 

au.fitScaleHeight('2015-11-23_20-02-32_lv2.csv',datestring='2015-11-25')
Inputs:
  • filename: csv file produced by the oxygen sounder
  • profile: which time-series profile to fit (-1 means to compute all)
  • quantity: RH, VD, LD (relative humidity, vapor density, liquid density).
Returns:
  • for 1 profile: scaleHeightFromGround, scaleHeightValue, groundValue
  • for multiple: medianDay, madDay, medianNight, madNight, medianTotal, madTotal

Example: 

CASA <4>: au.fitScaleHeight('2015-11-23_20-02-32_lv2.csv',datestring='2015-11-25')
