uxarray.UxDataArray.scalardotgradient

UxDataArray.scalardotgradient(v, q)

Compute the dot product between a vector field and the gradient of a scalar field.

Parameters:

• v (UxDataArray) – The meridional component of the vector field. self is treated as the zonal component.

• q (UxDataArray) – Scalar field whose gradient is dotted with the vector field.

Returns:

scalar_dot_gradient – Dot product self * dq/dx + v * dq/dy.

Return type:

UxDataArray
