ClimoDataArrayAccessor.convergence¶
- ClimoDataArrayAccessor.convergence(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶
Return the spherical meridional convergence. To calculate the convergence at the poles, the numerator is assumed to vanish and l’Hopital’s rule is invoked.
- Parameters
cos_power (int, optional) – Exponent to which the cosines in the numerator and denominator is raised. Default is
1
, but the contribution of the angular momentum flux convergence to the zonal wind budget requires2
(this can be seen by writing the budget equation for the angular momentum \(L\) and solving for \(\partial_t u\)).centered (bool, optional) – If False, use more accurate (but less convenient) half-level differentiation rather than centered differentiation.
