Computational grid
Sub-commands to support the computational grid components
CARTESIAN
Bases: BaseSubComponent
Cartesian coordinates.
.. code-block:: text
CARTESIAN
All locations and distances are in m. Coordinates are given with respect to x- and y-axes chosen by the user in the various commands.
Examples
.. ipython:: python :okwarning:
from rompy_swan.components.startup import CARTESIAN
coords = CARTESIAN()
print(coords.render())
Source code in rompy_swan/subcomponents/startup.py
SPHERICAL
Bases: BaseSubComponent
Spherical coordinates.
.. code-block:: text
SPHERICAL [->CCM|QC]
Notes
projection options:
- CCM: central conformal Mercator. The horizontal and vertical scales are uniform in terms of cm/degree over the area shown. In the centre of the scale is identical to that of the conventional Mercator projection (but only at that centre). The area in the projection centre is therefore exactly conformal.
- QC: the projection method is quasi-cartesian, i.e. the horizontal and vertical scales are equal to one another in terms of cm/degree.
All coordinates of locations and geographical grid sizes are given in degrees;x
is longitude with x = 0 being the Greenwich meridian and x > 0 is East of this
meridian; y is latitude with y > 0 being the Northern hemisphere. Input and
output grids have to be oriented with their x-axis to the East; mesh sizes are in
degrees. All other distances are in meters.
Note that spherical coordinates can also be used for relatively small areas, say 10
or 20 km horizontal dimension. This may be useful if one obtains the boundary
conditions by nesting in an oceanic model which is naturally formulated in
spherical coordinates. Note that in case of spherical coordinates regular grids
must always be oriented E-W, N-S, i.e. alpc=0, alpinp=0, alpfr=0
(see commands CGRID, INPUT GRID and FRAME, respectively).
