Inversion detection module (Propagation.Inversion):
- find_inversion_top/1 walks the native profile to locate the first
temperature inversion (surface-based or elevated)
- bulk_richardson/3 computes the Richardson number across the
inversion layer (Ri < 0.25 = turbulent, > 1 = laminar/good)
- shear_magnitude/3 computes the wind shear vector magnitude
- potential_temperature/2 for θ = T*(P0/P)^0.286
Theta-e module (Weather.ThetaE):
- Bolton (1980) equivalent potential temperature
- dewpoint_from_spfh/2 via Magnus-Tetens inversion
- theta_e_jump/3 for the thermodynamic decoupling metric
mix hrrr_native_derive_fields populates inversion_top_m,
bulk_richardson, theta_e_jump_k, and shear_at_top_ms on existing
hrrr_native_profiles rows.
First real data: 2022-08-20 12Z TX profile shows inversion at
186 m, Ri = 0.16 (turbulent), θ_e jump = 0.33 K — consistent with
marginal propagation conditions at that hour.
