pyart.core.HorizontalWindProfile¶

class pyart.core.HorizontalWindProfile(height, speed, direction, latitude=None, longitude=None)[source]¶

Horizontal wind profile.

Parameters

height (array-like, 1D) – Heights in meters above sea level at which horizontal winds were sampled.
speed (array-like, 1D) – Horizontal wind speed in meters per second at each height sampled.
direction (array-like, 1D) – Horizontal wind direction in degrees at each height sampled.

Other Parameters

latitude (array-like, 1D, optional) – Latitude in degrees north at each height sampled.
longitude (array-like, 1D, optional) – Longitude in degrees east at each height sampled.

Variables

~HorizontalWindProfile.height (array, 1D) – Heights in meters above sea level at which horizontal winds were sampled.
~HorizontalWindProfile.speed (array, 1D) – Horizontal wind speed in meters per second at each height.
~HorizontalWindProfile.direction (array, 1D) – Horizontal wind direction in degrees at each height.
~HorizontalWindProfile.u_wind (array, 1D) – U component of horizontal winds in meters per second at each height.
~HorizontalWindProfile.v_wind (array, 1D) – V component of horizontal winds in meters per second at each height.
