• lon (xarray.DataArray)

• lat (xarray.DataArray)

• time (xarray.DataArray)

• track_id (array_like, optional)

• method (str, optional) – The method of computing distances, either geodesic (“geod”) or haversine (“haversine”)

• ellps (str, optional) – The definition of the globe to use for the geodesic calculation (see pyproj.Geod). Default is “WGS84”.
