Hi Tom,
Thanks for your help. I figured out a method after some experimentation
and realised I could not use the visad logic. My algorithm works
point-wise, which requires having to step through each point individually.
Essentially, I modified existing code for substitution, found in IDV's
Jython library:
def wetbulb(temp,dewpt):
from java.lang import Math
tempData = temp.clone();
dewptData = dewpt.clone();
presData = extractPressureFromNWPGrid(tempData);
wetbulbData = temp.clone();
if (GridUtil.isTimeSequence(tempData)):
for t in range(tempData.getDomainSet().getLength()):
tempValues = tempData[t]
dewptValues = dewptData[t]
presValues = presData[t]
wetbulbRangeObj = wetbulbData.getSample(t)
newValues = wetbulbRangeObj.getFloats(0)
print "Processing wetbulb temperature for time ", t
for i in range(len(tempValues)):
if(str(float(tempValues[i].getValue()))!='nan'):
newValues[0][i] =
findwetbulb(kelvinToCelcius(tempValues[i].getValue()),kelvinToCelcius(dewptValues[i].getValue()),presData[i].getValue())
wetbulbRangeObj.setSamples(newValues,1)
wetbulbData = newUnit(noUnit(wetbulbData),'Wetbulb temperature in
celcius','C')
return wetbulbData
