lon: float or numpy array

longitude coordinate of a the location(s) of interest in degrees

lat_ref: float

lon_ref: float

longitude reference coordinate in degrees

rot: float

Rotation angle in degrees for the xy coordinate system (clockwise rotation).

squeeze: bool

If output array has length 1, return float instead of array

Returns:
x: float or numpy array

x position coordinates in meters

y: float or numpy array

y positions coordinates in meters

Transform xy position coordinates to lat-lon coordinates.

By default, the origin of the xy coordinate system is set to 0 deg latitude and 0 deg longitude.

By default, the x-axis is aligned with the longitude axis (west to east) and the y-axis is aligned with the latitude axis (south to north).

kadlu.utils.interp_grid_1d(y, x=None, num_pts=inf, rel_err=None, method='linear')[source]

Determine the optimal interpolation grid for the function y(x).

The grid will in general not be uniform, as the grid points will be more densily clustered in regions where y(x) is changing more rapidly.

Args:
y: 1d numpy array

y values

x: 1d numpy array

x values. If none are specified, they are assumed to be 0,1,2,…

num_pts: int

Number of grid points. If rel_err is specified, num_pts becomes the maximum possible number of grid points.

rel_err: float

Maximum deviation between the interpolation and y, relative to the range of values spanned by y.

method: str

Interpolation method

Returns:
a: 1d numpy array

Indices of the grid points

e: float

Maximum relative error
