Mimetic Interpolation of Vector Fields (Pletzer and Hayek, 2019) #50

I just found this fascinating paper: Pletzer, A. and W. Hayek, 2019: Mimetic Interpolation of Vector Fields on Arakawa C/D Grids. Mon. Wea. Rev., 147, 3–16, https://doi.org/10.1175/MWR-D-18-0146.1

https://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/full/10.1175/MWR-D-18-0146.1

There appears to be a python library! https://github.com/pletzer/mint The author is @pletzer.

Interestingly it uses VTK to deal with the grid cell problem.

Just posting here because I think this is the best place for discussion regridding. It would be great to have this tool available in an xarray / dask friendly way.

Thanks for the information, that looks very useful!

Interestingly, I just had a conservation with the author of VTKI @banesullivan. VTKI is a much more sane frontend for VTK, somewhat like what xESMF is to ESMF. Some possible connections with Xarray/Dask are discussed at https://github.com/vtkiorg/vtki/issues/177#issuecomment-484729022 and vtkiorg/vtki#192

@JiaweiZhuang - this is a super cool project!

Would you please join the @OpenGeoVis slack workspace? http://slack.opengeovis.org - it's a community I'm trying to build around @vtkiorg and @OpenGeoVis
