uxarray.grid.coordinates._populate_cartesian_xyz_coord

uxarray.grid.coordinates._populate_cartesian_xyz_coord(grid)

A helper function that populates the xyz attribute in UXarray.Grid._ds. This function is called when we need to use the cartesian coordinates for each node to do the calculation but the input data only has the node_lon and node_lat in degree.

Note

In the UXarray, we abide the UGRID convention and make sure the following attributes will always have its corresponding units as stated below:

node_lon

unit: “degree_east” for longitude

node_lat

unit: “degrees_north” for latitude

node_x

unit: “m”

node_y

unit: “m”

node_z

unit: “m”
