eradiate.thermoprops.us76.thermal_diffusion_term_atomic_oxygen(grid, g, t, dt_dz, d, k)[source]#

Computes the thermal diffusion term of atomic oxygen in the high-altitude region.

Parameters:

  • grid (array) – Altitude grid [km].

  • g (array) – Values of the gravity on the altitude grid [m/s^2].

  • t (array) – Values of the temperature on the altitude grid [K].

  • dt_dz (array) – Values of the temperature gradient on the altitude grid [K/m].

  • d (array) – Values of thermal diffusion coefficient on the altitude grid [m^2/s].

  • k (array) – Values of the Eddy diffusion coefficient on the altitude grid [m^2/s].

Returns:

array – Values of the thermal diffusion term [km^-1].
