py_eddy_tracker.dataset.grid.GridDataset¶

class py_eddy_tracker.dataset.grid.GridDataset(filename, x_name, y_name, centered=None, indexs=None, unset=False)[source]¶

Bases: object

Class for basic tools on NetCDF Grid

Parameters

filename (str) – Filename to load
x_name (str) – Name of longitude coordinates
y_name (str) – Name of latitude coordinates
centered (bool,None) – Allow to know how coordinates could be used with pixel
indexs (dict) – A dictionary that sets indexes to use for non-coordinate dimensions
unset (bool) – Set to True to create an empty grid object without file

Methods

`add_grid`	Add a grid in handler
`c_to_bounds`	Centered coordinates to bounds coordinates
`copy`	Duplicate the variable from grid_in in grid_out
`eddy_identification`	Compute eddy identification on the specified grid
`get_amplitude`
`get_uavg`	Compute geostrophic speed around successive contours Returns the average
`grid`	Give the grid required
`grid_tiles`	Give the grid tiles required, without buffer system
`high_filter`	Return the high-pass filtered grid, by substracting to the initial grid the low-pass filtered grid (default: order=1)
`is_circular`	Check grid circularity
`load`	Load variable (data).
`load_general_features`	Load attrs to be stored in object
`low_filter`	Return the low-pass filtered grid (default: order=1)

dimensions¶

eddy_identification(grid_height, uname, vname, date, step=0.005, shape_error=55, sampling=50, sampling_method='visvalingam', pixel_limit=None, precision=None, force_height_unit=None, force_speed_unit=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Compute eddy identification on the specified grid

Parameters

grid_height (str) – Grid name of Sea Surface Height
uname (str) – Grid name of u speed component
vname (str) – Grid name of v speed component
date (datetime.datetime) – Date to be stored in object to date data
step (float,int) – Height between two layers in m
shape_error (float,int) – Maximal error allowed for outermost contour in %
sampling (int) – Number of points to store contours and speed profile
sampling_method (str) – Method to resample, ‘uniform’ or ‘visvalingam’
pixel_limit ((int,int),None) – Min and max number of pixels inside the inner and the outermost contour to be considered as an eddy
precision (float,None) – Truncate values at the defined precision in m
force_height_unit (str) – Unit used for height unit
force_speed_unit (str) – Unit used for speed unit
kwargs (dict) – Arguments given to amplitude (mle, nb_step_min, nb_step_to_be_mle). Look at py_eddy_tracker.eddy_feature.Amplitude() The amplitude threshold is given by step*nb_step_min
