xarray.Dataset.traj.velocity_components#

Dataset.traj.velocity_components()#

Calculate velocity components [m/s] from one position to the next.

The last time step is repeated for the last position (which has no next position).

Returns:

u (xarray.DataArray) – Eastward velocity component [m/s] at each position along trajectories. Dimensions: same as the dataset’s trajectory and observation dimensions.
v (xarray.DataArray) – Northward velocity component [m/s] at each position along trajectories. Dimensions: same as the dataset’s trajectory and observation dimensions.
