Correct wind data for ship motion#

This example shows how to calculate course and speed over ground of the ship and use it to correct the wind speed and direction data.

from arm_test_data import DATASETS
import xarray as xr

import act

# Read in the navigation data, mainly for the lat/lon
filename_nav = DATASETS.fetch('marnavM1.a1.20180201.000000.nc')
nav_ds = act.io.arm.read_arm_netcdf(filename_nav)

# Calculate course and speed over ground from the NAV
# lat and lon data
nav_ds = act.utils.ship_utils.calc_cog_sog(nav_ds)

# Read in the data containing the wind speed and direction
filename_aosmet = DATASETS.fetch('maraosmetM1.a1.20180201.000000.nc')
aosmet_ds = act.io.arm.read_arm_netcdf(filename_aosmet)

# Merge the navigation and wind data together
# This have been previously resampled to 1-minute data
ds = xr.merge([nav_ds, aosmet_ds], compat='override')

# Call the correction for the winds.  Note, that this only
# corrects for ship course and speed, not roll and pitch.
ds = act.corrections.ship.correct_wind(ds)

nav_ds.close()
aosmet_ds.close()
ds.close()
