compute vorticity with metR #174

Closed fipoucat closed 9 months ago

fipoucat commented 1 year ago

I have a netcdf file with u and v component of the wind for a region of interest at 0.25 degree resolution. Is there a way and guidance to compute vorticity at 850hPa for all timesteps?

Thank you

Read the data with ReadNetCDF() and use Vorticity(vx + vy ~ lon + lat). Check your units, though.

what is vx , vy here?

The zonal and meridional vector, respectively.
