2. Atmospheric Calculations Workflow
Calculate key atmospheric parameters for meteorology, climate science, and weather forecasting applications.
Workflow Steps:
- Calculate Coriolis Parameter - Compute Earth's rotation effect
- Calculate Geostrophic Wind - Determine wind from pressure gradients
- Calculate Heat Index - Assess human heat stress
- Calculate Potential Temperature - Standardize temperature measurements
- Calculate Dewpoint - Determine moisture content
Implementation:
## Initialize client
client = AtmSciClient(
"https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/35/AtmSci-Tool",
"<your-api-key>"
)
if not await client.connect():
print("connection failed")
exit()
print("=== Atmospheric Science Calculations ===\n")
## Step 1: Calculate Coriolis parameter
print("Step 1: Coriolis Parameter")
latitude = 45.0 # degrees
result = await client.session.call_tool(
"atm_calc_coriolis_parameter",
arguments={"latitude": latitude}
)
result_data = client.parse_result(result)
print(f"Latitude: {latitude}°")
print(f"Coriolis parameter: {result_data} s⁻¹\n")
## Step 2: Calculate geostrophic wind
print("Step 2: Geostrophic Wind")
result = await client.session.call_tool(

"pressure_gradient_y": 0.5, # Pa/m
"latitude": latitude,
"air_density": 1.225 # kg/m³
}
)
result_data = client.parse_result(result)
print(f"Geostrophic wind (u, v): {result_data} m/s\n")
## Step 3: Calculate heat index
print("Step 3: Heat Index")
result = await client.session.call_tool(
"atm_calc_heat_index",
arguments={
"temperature_f": 95.0, # °F
"relative_humidity": 65.0 # %
}
)
result_data = client.parse_result(result)
print(f"Temperature: 95°F, Humidity: 65%")
print(f"Heat index: {result_data}°F\n")
## Step 4: Calculate potential temperature
print("Step 4: Potential Temperature")
result = await client.session.call_tool(
"atm_calc_potential_temperature",
arguments={
"temperature_k": 288.15, # K (15°C)
"pressure_pa": 85000.0 # Pa (850 hPa)
}
)
result_data = client.parse_result(result)
print(f"Temperature: 288.15 K, Pressure: 850 hPa")
print(f"Potential temperature: {result_data} K\n")
## Step 5: Calculate dewpoint
print("Step 5: Dewpoint Temperature")

}
)
result_data = client.parse_result(result)
print(f"Temperature: 25°C, Humidity: 60%")
print(f"Dewpoint: {result_data}°C\n")
## Step 6: Check for heatwave conditions
print("Step 6: Heatwave Detection")
temperatures = [32, 34, 35, 36, 35, 34] # °C over 6 days
result = await client.session.call_tool(
"atm_check_heatwave",
arguments={
"temperatures": temperatures,

Physical Interpretations
Coriolis Parameter:
- Positive in Northern Hemisphere, negative in Southern
- Zero at equator, maximum at poles
- Critical for large-scale atmospheric circulation
Geostrophic Wind:
- Theoretical wind resulting from pressure gradient force and Coriolis effect
- Valid above atmospheric boundary layer
- Actual winds deviate due to friction and other forces
Heat Index:
-
80°F: Caution (fatigue possible)
-
90°F: Extreme caution (heat exhaustion possible)
-
103°F: Danger (heat stroke likely)
-
125°F: Extreme danger
Potential Temperature:
- Temperature air parcel would have if brought adiabatically to reference pressure (1000 hPa)
- Conserved for adiabatic processes
- Used to identify air masses and atmospheric stability
Dewpoint:
- Temperature at which air becomes saturated
- Higher dewpoint = more moisture
- Dewpoint > 65°F feels humid
- Dewpoint depression (T - Td) indicates saturation level
