compass.landice.tests.ismip7_calibration.terms.uniform_area(template, resolution, cell_dims)[source]

Build a uniform cell-area array, for structured grids.

Convenience so that a structured-grid case can call the same functions: area = uniform_area(melt, 8000.0, ('y', 'x')).

Parameters:

  • template (xarray.DataArray) – Any array carrying the cell dimensions and their coordinates.

  • resolution (float) – Grid spacing in m; cell area is resolution**2.

  • cell_dims (sequence of str) – The cell dimensions.

Returns:

xarray.DataArray – Constant array of resolution**2, over cell_dims only.
