huracanpy.convert.to_geodataframe#

huracanpy.convert.to_geodataframe(lon, lat, track_id=None, *, crs=None)[source]#

convert track data to a geopandas.GeoDataFrame of geometries

Parameters:

  • lon (array_like) – Longitude and latitude points

  • lat (array_like) – Longitude and latitude points

  • track_id (array_like, optional) – Track ID at each point. If track ID is given, each track is treated as a shapely.LineString. Otherwise, each point is a shapely.Point

  • crs (cartopy.crs.Projection, optional) – The projection of the input data. If None, the data is assumed to be Geodetic.

Returns:

A GeoDataFrame containing the input tracks a geometries. If track_id is not given the geometries are shapely.Point, and if track_id is given the geometries are shapely.LineString (split into multiple LineStrings where tracks cross the dateline) or shapely.Point for any length-1 tracks

Return type:

geopandas.GeoDataFrame
