Atmospheric Relative Angular Momentum

Functions¶

calc_relative_angular_momentum(zonal_wind_speed_data, ...)

Calculate atmospheric relative angular momentum.

Module Contents¶

easyclimate.physics.energy.angmom_atm.calc_relative_angular_momentum(zonal_wind_speed_data: xarray.DataArray, vertical_dim: str, vertical_dim_units: Literal['hPa', 'Pa', 'mbar'], lon_dim: str = 'lon', lat_dim: str = 'lat', weights=None)¶

Calculate atmospheric relative angular momentum.

Parameters¶

zonal_wind_speed_dataxarray.DataArray ( \(\mathrm{m/s}\) ): Zonal wind component with the least similar dimensions (vertical_dim, lon_dim, lat_dim)
vertical_dim: str.: Vertical coordinate dimension name.
vertical_dim_units: str.: The unit corresponding to the vertical p-coordinate value. Optional values are hPa, Pa, mbar.
lon_dim: str, default: lon.: Longitude coordinate dimension name. By default extracting is applied over the lon dimension.
lat_dim: str, default: lat.: Latitude coordinate dimension name. By default extracting is applied over the lat dimension.
weightsxarray.DataArray, optional: Weights for each latitude, same dimension as lat. If None, computed as \(\cos(lat)*\mathrm{d}lat\) with the values of latitude spacing.

Returns¶

aamxarray.DataArray ( \(\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m^2/s}\) ): Atmospheric angular momentum.
