Return potential vorticity in different units #21

Closed jkrasting closed 1 year ago

jkrasting commented 2 years ago

An option to return potential vorticity in units of $10^{14} cm^{-1} sec^{-1}$ would be useful. This conversion is done by:

pvort = np.abs(((pvort/100)*1.e14))

It would allow one to generate plots similar to this one from Talley and McCarthy:
