trackeddy.tracking.scan_eddym¶
-
trackeddy.tracking.scan_eddym(data, lon, lat, levels, date, areamap, mask='', destdir='', physics='', eddycenter='masscenter', maskopt='contour', preferences=None, mode='gaussian', basemap=False, checkgauss=True, areaparms=None, usefullfit=False, diagnostics=False, plotdata=False, debug=False)¶ scan_eddym wraps the identification and Gaussian fit functions.
Function to identify each eddy using closed contours, also this function checks if the elipse adjusted have a consistent eccentricity, vorticty and other parameters.
- Parameters

- date: int | datetime
Date in julian days.
- areamap: list
Section of interest [lon0,lon1,lat0,lat1].
- mask: np.mask
Continent mask.
- Returns
- eddys: dict
OrderedDict of identified eddies.
- check: boolean
Status of identification.
- total_contours: int
