[python #BLO-430107]: Bulk Richardson number calculation - gradients?

Greetings!

There shouldn't be any limitations to the data you pass in. You are correct 
that Brunt-Vaisala frequency is undefined when dTheta/dZ is negative. For data 
points where that is the case, the MetPy function will return values of np.nan 
(as we do for other undefined values).

Cheers,

Ryan
