什么是 Potential temperature?

Definition 26.7 University Earth and Space Sciences — Year 1 · 第 26 章 — Structure of the Atmosphere and the Ocean

The potential temperature θ\theta of a parcel of dry air is the temperature it would have if brought adiabatically to the reference pressure p0=1000 hPap_0 = 1000\,\mathrm{hPa}: θ=T (1000/p)2/7\theta = T\,(1000/p)^{2/7} with pp in hectopascals and TT in kelvins.

示例

Example 26.8 (The tropopause of the standard atmosphere)

At the surface of the standard, θ=288.15×(1000/1013.25)2/7=287.07 K\theta = 288.15 \times (1000/1013.25)^{2/7} = 287.07\,\mathrm{K}. At the tropopause, T=216.65 KT = 216.65\,\mathrm{K} and p=226.32 hPap = 226.32\,\mathrm{hPa}: θ=216.65×(1000/226.32)2/7=216.65×1.529=331.2 K\theta = 216.65 \times (1000/226.32)^{2/7} = 216.65 \times 1.529 = 331.2\,\mathrm{K}. Air from the tropopause brought down adiabatically to 1000 hPa1000\,\mathrm{hPa} would arrive at 331.2 K331.2\,\mathrm{K}, 44 K44\,\mathrm{K} warmer than surface air brought to the same pressure. The temperature falls by 71.5 K71.5\,\mathrm{K} from the ground to the tropopause, yet the potential temperature rises by 44 K44\,\mathrm{K}.
