Workspace Method wind_u_fieldIncludePlanetRotation
Description
Maps the planet's rotation to an imaginary wind. This method is of relevance if the observation platform is not following the planet's rotation, and Doppler effects must be considered. Examples include full disk observations from another planet or a satellite not in orbit of the observed planet. The rotation of the planet is not causing any Doppler shift for 1D and 2D simulations, and the method can only be used for 3D.
