Brunt-Vaisala Frequency Calculator

Introduction : This calculator calculates the Brunt-Vaisala frequency. In this calculator, you have six input values:
  1. dT/dz
  2. Wind Speed (M)
  3. Temperature (Tv)
  4. Geopotential Height (z1)
  5. Damping Factor/ E-folding Distance (b)
  6. Distance Downwind (x)
  7. Dry Temperature (Td)

The algorithm for the Brunt-Vaisala frequency is:
