geodesic#
- metpy.interpolate.geodesic(crs, start, end, steps)[source]#
Construct a geodesic path between two points.
This function acts as a wrapper for the geodesic construction available in
pyproj
.- Parameters:
crs (
pyproj.crs.CRS
) – PyProj Coordinate Reference System to use for the outputstart ((2, ) array-like) – A latitude-longitude pair designating the start point of the geodesic (units are degrees north and degrees east).
end ((2, ) array-like) – A latitude-longitude pair designating the end point of the geodesic (units are degrees north and degrees east).
steps (int, optional) – The number of points along the geodesic between the start and the end point (including the end points).
- Returns:
numpy.ndarray
– The list of x, y points in the given CRS of length steps along the geodesic.
