GeorefRectMethods.xyz_to_spherical(**kwargs)[source]#

Returns spherical representation (r, theta, phi) of given cartesian coordinates (x, y, z) with respect to the reference altitude (asl) considering earth’s geometry (crs).

Parameters

obj (xarray.DataArray | xarray.Dataset)

Keyword Arguments

  • crs (osgeo.osr.SpatialReference) – projection of the source coordinates (aeqd) with spheroid model defaults to None.

  • ke (float) – Adjustment factor to account for the refractivity gradient that affects radar beam propagation. In principle this is wavelength- dependend. The default of 4/3 is a good approximation for most weather radar wavelengths

Returns

obj (xarray.Dataset) – obj with added spherical coordinates.
