    This calculation must be given an air parcel's pressure and temperature.
    The implementation uses the formula outlined in [Bolton1980]_ for the
    equivalent potential temperature, and assumes a saturated process.

    First, because we assume a saturated process, the temperature at the LCL is
    equivalent to the current temperature. Therefore the following equation

    .. math:: T_{L}=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{T_{D}-56}+\frac{ln(T_{K}/T_{D})}{800}}+56

    Then the potential temperature at the temperature/LCL is calculated:

    .. math:: \theta_{DL}=T_{K}\left(\frac{1000}{p-e}\right)^k
              \left(\frac{T_{K}}{T_{L}}\right)^{.28r}

    However, because

    .. math:: T_{L} = T_{K}

    it follows that

    .. math:: \theta_{DL}=T_{K}\left(\frac{1000}{p-e}\right)^k

    Both of these are used to calculate the final equivalent potential temperature:

    Parameters
    ----------
    theta_levels : array
        One-dimensional array of desired theta surfaces
    pressure : array
        One-dimensional array of pressure levels
    temperature : array
        Array of temperature
    args : array, optional
        Any additional variables will be interpolated to each isentropic level.

    Returns
    -------
    list
        List with pressure at each isentropic level, followed by each additional
        argument interpolated to isentropic coordinates.

    Other Parameters
    ----------------
    axis : int, optional
        The axis corresponding to the vertical in the temperature array, defaults to 0.
    temperature_out : bool, optional
        If true, will calculate temperature and output as the last item in the output list.
        Defaults to False.
    max_iters : int, optional
        The maximum number of iterations to use in calculation, defaults to 50.
    eps : float, optional
        The desired absolute error in the calculated value, defaults to 1e-6.
    bottom_up_search : bool, optional
        Controls whether to search for theta levels bottom-up, or top-down. Defaults to
        True, which is bottom-up search.

    Notes
    -----
    Input variable arrays must have the same number of vertical levels as the pressure levels
    array. Pressure is calculated on isentropic surfaces by assuming that temperature varies
    linearly with the natural log of pressure. Linear interpolation is then used in the
    vertical to find the pressure at each isentropic level. Interpolation method from
    [Ziv1994]_. Any additional arguments are assumed to vary linearly with temperature and will
    be linearly interpolated to the new isentropic levels.

    `isentropic_interpolation` previously accepted `tmpk_out` as an argument. That has been
    deprecated in 0.11 in favor of `temperature_out` and support will end in 1.0.

        Atmospheric pressure profile
    temperature : `pint.Quantity`
        Atmospheric temperature profile
    relative_humidity : `pint.Quantity`
        Atmospheric relative humidity profile. The relative humidity is expressed as a
        unitless ratio in the range [0, 1]. Can also pass a percentage if proper units are
        attached.
    bottom : `pint.Quantity`, optional
        The bottom of the layer in pressure. Defaults to the first observation.
    depth : `pint.Quantity`, optional
