huracanpy.calc.density#

huracanpy.calc.density(lon, lat, method='histogram', bin_size=5, crop=False, function_kws={})[source]#

Function to compute the track density, based on a simple 2D histogram.

Parameters:
  • lon (array_like) – longitude series

  • lat (array_like) – latitude series

  • method (str, default="histogram") – The method used to calculate the density, currently only “histogram”, which gives a 2d histogram using np.histogram2d

  • bin_size (int or float, default=5) – When using histogram, defines the size (in degrees) of the bins.

  • n_seasons (int, optional) – Number of season (will be used to divide the final results, so that is represents points/year). The default is 1.

Raises:

NotImplementedError – If method given is not ‘histogram’

Returns:

Track density as a 2D map.

Return type:

xarray.DataArray
