gridmarthe.plot_veloc_quiver(ds, ax=None, xyfreq=1, veclenght=1, color_mod=False, sqrt_norm=True, loc_scale_xy=(0.1, 0.1))[source]

Plot velocity field as quiver

Parameters:

  • ds (xr.Dataset) –

    input dataset with velocity variables. Expected variables are: - vx: velocity in x direction - vy: velocity in y direction - vmod: velocity module

    See gm.read_velocity() to get velocity dataset from file.

  • ax (matplotlib.axes, optional) – if not provided, an ax will be created and returned.

  • xyfreq (int, optional) – filter velocity data every X cell.

  • veclenght (float, optional) – vector scale legend. Default is 1.

  • color_mod (bool, optional) – use velocity module as color field. Default is False.

  • sqrt_norm (bool, optional) –

    Norm the velocity data u and v, with

    \[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}u = u / \sqrt{u^2 + v^2}\\v = v / \sqrt{u^2 + v^2}\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

    Default is True (recommended).

  • loc_scale_xy (list or tuple, optional) – coordinates (X, Y) in Axes dimension (from 0 to 1) where to add the velocity scale.

Returns:

ax (matplotlib.axes)
