mpas_tools.ocean.inject_meshDensity.inject_spherical_meshDensity(cellWidth, lon, lat, mesh_filename)[source]¶

Add a meshDensity field into a spherical MPAS mesh. The mesh density is defined as:

meshDensity = (minCellWidth / cellWidth)**4

Parameters:

cellWidth (ndarray) – m x n array of cell width in km
lon (ndarray) – longitude in degrees (length n and between -180 and 180)
lat (ndarray) – longitude in degrees (length m and between -90 and 90)
mesh_filename (str) – The mesh file to add meshDensity to
