Add variable conversion to derive hlos_wind_velocity #117

Open svniemeijer opened 7 years ago

svniemeijer commented 7 years ago

To allow comparisons of ADM/Aeolus data add a variable conversion that calculates a hlos_wind_velocity based on wind_speed, wind_direction, and viewing_azimuth_angle.

This will only be useful once we have data containing those three sources, which is currently not the case.

See #12 for conventions regarding wind variables.

The AEOLUS L2C products (#241) have assimilated full wind vectors as well as the L2B HLOS wind velocity. We should be able to test the algorithm with the content of that product.
