ChangeLog

Version 2.1.1

Small bug fix in the UTCI computaiton

Fix computation of normal effective temperature

Fix documentation links to new repository URL

Standardisation

I/O variables converted into International System of Units (SI) (e.g., K)
Docstrings standardised in their descriptions (e.g., inputs as float arrays) and references
Variable names standardised across function declarations (i.e., t2m vs t2k vs t_k → now t2_k)
Use of temperature converter functions
Input variables are limited to those explicitly needed in the function formula (see e.g., calculate_normal_effective_temperature function)

New Functions

scale_windspeed function to scale 10m wind speed to height h with h < 10m
calculate_nonsaturation_vapour_pressure to calculate vapour pressure at a given relative humidity and air temperature
calculate_wbgt_simple function renamed
calculate_normal_effective_temperature function renamed

Improvements

thermofeel library docstring lists computed variables in alphabetical order
the cosine of the solar zenith angle now computed via the earthkit-meteo library
calculate_bgt function is calculated via a 4x faster formula
calculate_saturation_vapour_pressure_multiphase formulas replaced with those used in the IFS
changeable threshold in approximate_dsrp function (set to 0.1 by default)
invalidity outside input variables range specified in calculate_wind_chill function docstring

Bug Fixes

fixed approximate_dsrp to avoid fdir being overwritten with dsrp when calculating MRT
fixed calculate_wbgt_simple constant value and vapour pressure calculated from non-saturated formula
fixed calculate_bgt wind speed at 1.1m in input
fixed calculate_mrt_from_bgt wind speed at 1.1m in input
fixed calculate_normal_effective_temperature wind speed at 1.2m in input
fixed calculate_apparent_temperature wind speed at 10m in input; vapour pressure calculated from non-saturated formula
fixed calculate_wind_chill wind speed in km/h and operation symbols in main formula
fixed calculate_heat_index_simplified a wrong sign and missing constant value in hiarray; hi set to 2m air temperature when the latter is below 20°C
fixed fahrenheit_to_kelvin converter function
