wrf.xy_to_ll_proj

wrf.xy_to_ll_proj(x, y, meta=True, squeeze=True, map_proj=None, truelat1=None, truelat2=None, stand_lon=None, ref_lat=None, ref_lon=None, pole_lat=None, pole_lon=None, known_x=None, known_y=None, dx=None, dy=None, latinc=None, loninc=None)

Return the latitude and longitude for the specified x,y coordinates.

The x and y arguments can be a single value or a sequence of values. This version of the xy_to_ll routine allows users to manually specify map projection parameters.

The leftmost dimension of the returned array represents two different quantities:

  • return_val[0,...] will contain the latitude values.
  • return_val[1,...] will contain the longitude values.
Parameters:
  • x (float or sequence) – A single x-coordinate or a sequence of x-coordinate values to be converted.
  • y (float or sequence) – A single y-coordinate or a sequence of y-coordinate values to be converted.
  • squeeze (bool, optional) – Set to False to prevent dimensions with a size of 1 from being automatically removed from the shape of the output. Default is True.
  • meta (bool, optional) – Set to False to disable metadata and return numpy.ndarray instead of xarray.DataArray. Default is True.
  • as_int (bool) – Set to True to return the x,y values as int, otherwise they will be returned as float.
  • map_proj (int) – Model projection [1=Lambert Conformal, 2=Polar Stereographic, 3=Mercator, 6=Lat-Lon]. Required.
  • truelat1 (float) – True latitude 1. Required for map_proj = 1, 2, 3 (defaults to 0 otherwise).
  • truelat2 (float) – True latitude 2. Optional for map_proj = 1 (defaults to 0 otherwise).
  • stand_lon (float) – Standard longitude. Required.
  • ref_lat (float) – A reference latitude. Required.
  • ref_lon (float) – A reference longitude. Required.
  • known_x (float) – The known x-coordinate associated with ref_lon. Required.
  • known_y (float) – The known y-coordinate associated with ref_lat. Required.
  • pole_lat (float) – Pole latitude. Optional for map_proj = 6 (defaults to 90 otherwise).
  • pole_lon (float) – Pole longitude. Optional for map_proj = 6 (defaults to 0 otherwise).
  • dx (float) – The x spacing in meters at the true latitude. Required for map_proj = 1, 2, 3 (defaults to 0 otherwise).
  • dy (float) – Required for map_proj = 1, 2, 3 (defaults to 0 otherwise).
  • latinc (float) –

    Required for map_proj = 6. Defined as:

    latinc = (dy*360.0)/2.0/Constants.PI/Constants.WRF_EARTH_RADIUS
  • loninc (float) –

    Required for map_proj = 6. Defined as:

    loninc = (dx*360.0)/2.0/Constants.PI/Constants.WRF_EARTH_RADIUS
Returns:

The latitude and longitude values whose leftmost dimension is 2 (0=latitude, 1=longitude). If xarray is enabled and the meta parameter is True, then the result will be a xarray.DataArray object. Otherwise, the result will be a numpy.ndarray object with no metadata.
Return type:

xarray.DataArray or numpy.ndarray
