Description#
Generate SWAN file for spatially varied vector variable from scattered input data
Inputs#
- xgrid
x (longitude) of output grid points as a [M*N] array
- ygrid
y (latitude) of output grid points as a [M*N] array
- xpoint
- x (longitude) of the location (such as meteorological station) that vector variable is known in that locationas a [L] array1st element is 1st point, 2nd element is 2nd point, 3rd element is 3rd point, …
- ypoint
- y (latitude) of the location (such as meteorological station) that vector variable is known in that locationas a [L] array1st element is 1st point, 2nd element is 2nd point, 3rd element is 3rd point, …
- Vx
- Variable in x direction (x component of input variable) as a [K*L] arrayK is number of time steps for a time series1st row (i.e. [1,:]) is 1st time step, 2nd row (i.e. [2,:]) is 2nd time step, …Example: windvel(1,:) is the wind velocity data for all points at the first time stepL is number of points (such as meteorological stations) that wind velocity is known in those locationsL should be L>=31st column (i.e. [:,1]) is 1st point, 2nd column (i.e. [:,2]) is 2nd point, 3rd column (i.e. [:,3]) is 3rd point, …Example: windvel(:,1) is the wind velocity data for all time steps at the first point
- Vy
- Variable in y direction (y component of input variable) as a [K*L] arrayK is number of time steps for a time series1st row (i.e. [1,:]) is 1st time step, 2nd row (i.e. [2,:]) is 2nd time step, …Example: windvel(1,:) is the wind velocity data for all points at the first time stepL is number of points (such as meteorological stations) that wind velocity is known in those locationsL should be L>=31st column (i.e. [:,1]) is 1st point, 2nd column (i.e. [:,2]) is 2nd point, 3rd column (i.e. [:,3]) is 3rd point, …Example: windvel(:,1) is the wind velocity data for all time steps at the first point
- savedata=’no’
- Define if save data in a file or not‘no’: does not save‘yes’: save data as ascii file
- outfilename=’swanwind.wnd’
- Name of output file between ‘ ‘ mark, example: ‘swanwind.wnd’outfilename should have proper name and extension
- outfilelocation=pwd
Location of output file between ‘ ‘ mark, example: ‘C:' in MATLAB, or ‘C:/’ in Python
- CalcMethod=’linear’
- Interpolation method‘linear’: Use default or ‘linear’ method to interpolate‘nearest’: Use nearest neighbor method to interpolate
Outputs#
- swanvectorvariable
- Spatially varied vector variable data formated for SWANVector variable data at each time step is assigned into the grid points
- Vxpoint
- Nearest interpolated vector variable in x direction at (xpoint,ypoint) as a [K*L] arrayK is number of time steps for a time seriesL is number of points (such as meteorological stations) that vector variable in x direction is known in those locations
- Vypoint
- Nearest interpolated vector variable in y direction at (xpoint,ypoint) as a [K*L] arrayK is number of time steps for a time seriesL is number of points (such as meteorological stations) that vector variable in y direction is known in those locations
