mpas_tools.ocean.depth.compute_depth¶
- mpas_tools.ocean.depth.compute_depth(refBottomDepth)[source]¶
Computes depth and depth bounds given refBottomDepth
- Parameters:
refBottomDepth (xarray.DataArray) – the depth of the bottom of each vertical layer in the initial state (perfect z-level coordinate)
- Returns:
depth (numpy.ndarray) – the vertical coordinate defining the middle of each layer
depth_bnds (numpy.ndarray) – the vertical coordinate defining the top and bottom of each layer
