mpas_tools.ocean.inject_meshDensity.inject_meshDensity_from_file¶

mpas_tools.ocean.inject_meshDensity.inject_meshDensity_from_file(cw_filename, mesh_filename, on_sphere=True)[source]¶

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

meshDensity = (minCellWidth / cellWidth)**4

Parameters:

cw_filename (str) – The file name to read cellWidth and coordinates from
mesh_filename (str) – The mesh file to add meshDensity to
on_sphere (bool, optional) – Whether the mesh is spherical (as opposed to planar)
