vr2uvF_Wrap
Computes the rotational wind components via spherical harmonics, given an array containing relative vorticity on a fixed 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 vr2uvF_Wrap ( vr : numeric ) return_val [2,dimsizes(vr)] : float or double
Arguments
vrvorticity array (input, array with two or more dimensions, last two dimensions must be nlat x nlon)
- input values must be in ascending latitude order
- array must be on a global grid
Description
This function is identical to vr2uvF, except the return value will have metadata added based on metadata attached to vr. See the vr2uvF page for full documentation and examples.
