r"""Obtain an interpolated slice through data using xarray.
Utilizing the interpolation functionality in `xarray`, this function takes a slice the
given data (currently only regular grids are supported), which is given as an
`xarray.DataArray` so that we can utilize its coordinate metadata.
Parameters
----------
data: `xarray.DataArray` or `xarray.Dataset`
Three- (or higher) dimensional field(s) to interpolate. The DataArray (or each
DataArray in the Dataset) must have been parsed by MetPy and include both an x and
y coordinate dimension.
points: (N, 2) array_like
A list of x, y points in the data projection at which to interpolate the data
interp_type: str, optional
The interpolation method, either 'linear' or 'nearest' (see
`xarray.DataArray.interp()` for details). Defaults to 'linear'.
Returns
-------
`xarray.DataArray` or `xarray.Dataset`
The interpolated slice of data, with new index dimension of size N.

def geodesic(crs, start, end, steps):

This function acts as a wrapper for the geodesic construction available in `pyproj`.
Parameters
----------
crs: `cartopy.crs`
Cartopy Coordinate Reference System to use for the output
start: (2, ) array_like
A latitude-longitude pair designating the start point of the geodesic (units are
degrees north and degrees east).
end: (2, ) array_like
A latitude-longitude pair designating the end point of the geodesic (units are degrees
north and degrees east).
steps: int, optional
The number of points along the geodesic between the start and the end point
(including the end points).
Returns
-------
`numpy.ndarray`
The list of x, y points in the given CRS of length `steps` along the geodesic.

def cross_section(data, start, end, steps=100, interp_type='linear'):
r"""Obtain an interpolated cross-sectional slice through gridded data.
Utilizing the interpolation functionality in `xarray`, this function takes a vertical
cross-sectional slice along a geodesic through the given data on a regular grid, which is
given as an `xarray.DataArray` so that we can utilize its coordinate and projection
metadata.
Parameters
----------
data: `xarray.DataArray` or `xarray.Dataset`
Three- (or higher) dimensional field(s) to interpolate. The DataArray (or each
DataArray in the Dataset) must have been parsed by MetPy and include both an x and
y coordinate dimension and the added `crs` coordinate.
start: (2, ) array_like
A latitude-longitude pair designating the start point of the cross section (units are
degrees north and degrees east).
end: (2, ) array_like
A latitude-longitude pair designating the end point of the cross section (units are
degrees north and degrees east).
steps: int, optional
The number of points along the geodesic between the start and the end point
(including the end points) to use in the cross section. Defaults to 100.
interp_type: str, optional
The interpolation method, either 'linear' or 'nearest' (see
`xarray.DataArray.interp()` for details). Defaults to 'linear'.
Returns
-------
`xarray.DataArray` or `xarray.Dataset`
The interpolated cross section, with new index dimension along the cross-section.
