polar_ppath

pyarts.plots.ppath.polar_ppath(ppath, planetary_radius=0.0, rscale=1000, figure_kwargs={'dpi': 300}, draw_lat_lon=True, draw_map=True, draw_za_aa=False, select='all', fig=None, axes=None)[source]

Plots a single observation in a polar coordinate system

Use the draw_* variables to select which plots are done

The polar plots’ central point is at the surface of the planet, i.e., at planetary_radius/rscale. The radius of these plots are the scaled down radiuses of the input ppath.pos[0, :] / rscale + planetary_radius/rscale. The default radius value is thus just the altitude in kilometers. If you put, e.g., 6371e3 as the planetary_radius, the radius values will be the radius from the surface to the highest altitude

Note also that longitudes are unwrapped, e.g. a step longer than 180 degrees between Ppath points will wrap around, or rather, create separate entries of the lat-lons.

Parameters:

  • ppath (pyarts.arts.Ppath) – A single propagation path object

  • planetary_radius (float, optional) – See polar_ppath_helper()

  • rscale (float, optional) – See polar_ppath_helper()

  • figure_kwargs (dict, optional) – Arguments to put into plt.figure(). The default is {“dpi”: 300}.

  • draw_lat_lon (bool, optional) – Whether or not latitude and longitude vs radius angles are drawn. Def: True

  • draw_map (bool, optional) – Whether or not latitude and longitude map is drawn. Def: True

  • draw_za_aa (bool, optional) – Whether or not Zenith and Azimuth angles are drawn. Def: False

  • select (str, optional) – Choose to use “all”, “start”, or “end” data from Ppath

  • fig (Figure, optional) – A figure. The default is None, which generates a new figure.

  • axes (A list of five Axes, optional) – A tuple of five axis. The default is None, which generates new axes. The order is [lat, lon, map, za, aa]

Returns:

  • fig (As input) – As input.

  • axes (As input) – As input.
