lat_lon_grid_spacing
(longitude, latitude, **kwargs)[source]¶ Calculate the distance between grid points that are in a latitude/longitude format.
Calculate the 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 distances 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
Deprecated since version 0.8.0: Function has been replaced with the signed delta distance calculation
lat_lon_grid_deltas
and will be removed from MetPy in 0.11.0.
