v
uv2vrG_Wrap
Computes the vorticity via spherical harmonics, given the u and v wind components on a gaussian grid (retains metadata).
Prototype
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl" ; This library is automatically loaded ; from NCL V6.2.0 onward. ; No need for user to explicitly load. function uv2vrG_Wrap ( u : numeric, v : numeric ) return_val [dimsizes(u)] : float or double
Arguments
uv
wind components (input, arrays with two or more dimensions, last two dimensions must be nlat x nlon)
- input values must be in ascending latitude order
- input array must be on a global grid
Description
This function is identical to uv2vrG, except the return value will have metadata added based on metadata attached to u and v. See the uv2vrG page for full documentation and examples.
