cross_section_components¶
- metpy.calc.cross_section_components(data_x, data_y, index='index')¶
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
) – Components of the vector field in the tangential and normal directions, respectively

Notes
The coordinates of data_x and data_y must match.
