thermo_parcel_area

thermo_parcel_area(parcel[, positive_colour, negative_colour])

Convenience function to build positive and negative buoyancy areas from parcel to be plotted in a thermoview().

Parameters

• parcel (thermo_parcel_path()) – object describing the path of an ascending thermodynamic air parcel

• positive_colour (str) – colour of the positive buoyancy areas, the default is “red”

• negative_colour (str) – colour of the negative buoyancy areas, the default is “blue”

Return type

list of input_visualiser() and mgraph()

Returns a list containing an input_visualiser() and an mgraph(), which can be directly used in plot().
