class opendrift.readers.reader_current_from_drifter.Reader(lons, lats, times, waves=None, z=0, name='reader_current_from_drifter')[source]

Bases: opendrift.readers.basereader.continuous.ContinuousReader

A continuous (in space and time) reader, able to provide exact values at any desired point (within bounds). This reader type is suitable for constant readers, analytical readers, or readers that are static and continuous within the valid domain (e.g. the landmask reader).

Reconstruct currents from time series of drifter positions

variables = ['x_sea_water_velocity', 'y_sea_water_velocity']

proj4 = '+proj=latlong'

xmin = -180

xmax = 180
