cross_section_components
(data_x, data_y, index='index')[source]¶ Obtain the tangential and normal components of a cross-section of a vector field.
Parameters: - data_x (
xarray.DataArray
) – The input DataArray of the x-component (in terms of data projection) of the vector field. - data_y (
xarray.DataArray
) – The input DataArray of the y-component (in terms of data projection) of the vector field.
Returns: component_tangential, component_normal (tuple of
xarray.DataArray
) – The components of the vector field in the tangential and normal directions, respectively.See also
Notes
The coordinates of data_x and data_y must match.
