Arctic Stereographic Projection

The Arctic stereographic projection is commonly used for mapping the Arctic region. It preserves angles and shapes over small areas, making it suitable for polar studies.

Usage in pyremap

The get_arctic_stereographic_projection() method provides a common pyproj projection that can be used in pyremap workflows and beyond.

from pyremap.polar import get_arctic_stereographic_projection

# Example: Create a polar descriptor for the Arctic
arctic_proj = get_arctic_stereographic_projection()
arctic_descriptor = get_polar_descriptor(
    lx=6000.0, ly=5000.0, dx=10.0, dy=10.0, projection=arctic_proj)
arctic_descriptor.to_scrip(f'{arctic_descriptor.mesh_name}_scrip.nc')
