class pyremap.descriptor.PointCollectionDescriptor(lats, lons, collectionName, units='degrees', outDimension='nPoints')[source]

A class for describing a collection of points

Variables:

  • lat (numpy.ndarray) – The latitude of each point

  • lon (numpy.ndarray) – The longitude of each point

  • units ({'degrees', 'radians'}) – The units of lats and lons

__init__(lats, lons, collectionName, units='degrees', outDimension='nPoints')[source]

Constructor stores

Parameters:

  • lats (numpy.ndarray) – The latitude of each point

  • lons (numpy.ndarray) – The longitude of each point

  • collectionName (str) – A unique name for the collection of transects, used in the names of files containing data mapped to these points.

  • units ({'degrees', 'radians'}, optional) – The units of lats and lons

  • outDimension (str, optional) – The name of the dimension corresponding to the points (i.e. the “horizontal” dimension of the point collection)

Methods
