pysiral.dot

@author: Stefan Hendricks

pysiral module for estimating dynamic ocean topography from existing sea-level anomaly data child classes of pysiral.l2proc.procsteps.Level2ProcessorStep.

NOTES:

The convention of the pysiral Level-2 processor is to compute dynamic ocean topography as

dot = sla + mdt

Thus, the auxiliary data set mean dynamic topography (mdt) is a mandatory auxiliary data set for the functionality of all classes in this module and the sla anomaly must be computed first.

Bases: pysiral.l2proc.procsteps.Level2ProcessorStep

A Level-2 processor step that adds sea ice density and sea ice density uncertainty to the L2 data object based on sea ice type classification

execute_procstep(l1b, l2): Mandatory Level-2 processor method that will execute the processing step and modify the L2 data object in-place. This method only sets the value of the dynamic ocean topography fields (dot) since DOT is a standard Level-2 data item. :param l1b: :param l2: :return:
