Potential temperature
text:
The potential temperature of a parcel of fluid at pressure P is the temperature that the parcel would attain if adiabatically brought to a standard reference pressure P 0 , usually 1,000 hPa (1,000 mb). The potential temperature is denoted θ and, for a gas well-approximated as ideal, is given by where T is the current absolute temperature of the parcel, R is the gas constant of air, and c p is the specific heat capacity at a constant pressure. R / c p = 0.286 for air (meteorology). The reference
