laplacian¶

metpy.calc.laplacian(f, **kwargs)[source]¶

Calculate the laplacian of a grid of values.

Works for both regularly-spaced data, and grids with varying spacing.

Either x or deltas must be specified.

Parameters:	f (array-like) – Array of values of which to calculate the derivative x (array-like, optional) – The coordinate values corresponding to the grid points in f deltas (array-like, optional) – Spacing between the grid points in f. There should be one item less than the size of f along axis.
Returns:	array-like – The laplacian
