lat_lon_grid_deltas

metpy.calc.lat_lon_grid_deltas(longitude, latitude, **kwargs)

Calculate the delta between grid points that are in a latitude/longitude format.

Calculate the signed delta distance between grid points when the grid spacing is defined by delta lat/lon rather than delta x/y

Parameters:

• longitude (array_like) – array of longitudes defining the grid
• latitude (array_like) – array of latitudes defining the grid
• kwargs – Other keyword arguments to pass to Geod

Returns:

dx, dy (2D arrays of signed deltas between grid points in the x and y direction)

Notes

Accepts, 1D or 2D arrays for latitude and longitude Assumes [Y, X] for 2D arrays
