ILAMB.ilamblib.GlobalLatLonGrid

ILAMB.ilamblib.GlobalLatLonGrid(res, **keywords)

Generates a latitude/longitude grid at a desired resolution

Computes 1D arrays of latitude and longitude values which correspond to cell interfaces and centroids at a given resolution.

Parameters

• res (float) – the desired resolution of the grid in degrees

• from_zero (boolean) – sets longitude convention { True:(0,360), False:(-180,180) }

Returns

• lat_bnd (numpy.ndarray) – a 1D array of latitudes which represent cell interfaces

• lon_bnd (numpy.ndarray) – a 1D array of longitudes which represent cell interfaces

• lat (numpy.ndarray) – a 1D array of latitudes which represent cell centroids

• lon (numpy.ndarray) – a 1D array of longitudes which represent cell centroids
