physics.units

Various units-related things

This module has a soft dependency on the pint units library. Please import this module only conditionally or only if you can accept a pint dependency.

`FwmuMixin`()	Mixing for frequency/wavelength/wavenumber neutrality
`SRF`(f, W)	Respresents a spectral response function
`density`(p, T[, R])	Wrapper around `typhon.physics.thermodynamics.density()`.
`planck_f`(f, T)	Planck law expressed in frequency.
`radiance_units`	dict() -> new empty dictionary dict(mapping) -> new dictionary initialized from a mapping object's (key, value) pairs dict(iterable) -> new dictionary initialized as if via: d = {} for k, v in iterable: d[k] = v dict(**kwargs) -> new dictionary initialized with the name=value pairs in the keyword argument list. For example: dict(one=1, two=2).
`specrad_frequency_to_planck_bt`(L, f)	Convert spectral radiance per frequency to brightness temperature
`specrad_wavenumber2frequency`(specrad_wavenum)	Convert spectral radiance from per wavenumber to per frequency
`ureg`	The unit registry stores the definitions and relationships between units.

physics.units.constants

Collection of physical constants and conversion factors.

The magnitudes of the defined constants are taken from typhon.constants.

This module adds units defined with pint’s UnitRegistry..
