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:

  • height (array, 1D) – Heights in meters above sea level at which horizontal winds were sampled.

  • speed (array, 1D) – Horizontal wind speed in meters per second at each height.

  • direction (array, 1D) – Horizontal wind direction in degrees at each height.

  • u_wind (array, 1D) – U component of horizontal winds in meters per second at each height.

  • v_wind (array, 1D) – V component of horizontal winds in meters per second at each height.
