eradiate.thermoprops.us76.thermal_diffusion_coefficient(background, temperature, a, b)[source]#

Computes the thermal diffusion coefficient values in the high-altitude region.

Parameters:

n (array) – Background number density values [m^-3].

Parameters:
  • t (array) – Temperature values [K].

  • a (float) – Thermal diffusion constant a [m^-1*s^-1].

  • b (float) – Thermal diffusion constant b [m^-1*s^-1].

Returns:

array – Values of the thermal diffusion coefficient [m^2/s].
