shoot.eddies.eddies3d.Eddies3D

class shoot.eddies.eddies3d.Eddies3D(u, v, depths, eddies, eddies_byslice)

Collection of 3D eddies detected across depth levels

Associates 2D eddy detections vertically to build coherent 3D structures. Use detect_eddies_3d() for detection.

Parameters:

• u (xarray.DataArray) – 3D zonal velocity field.

• v (xarray.DataArray) – 3D meridional velocity field.

• depths (ndarray) – Depth values.

• eddies (list of RawEddy3D) – 3D eddy objects.

• eddies_byslice (EddiesByDepth) – 2D detections organized by depth level.

__init__(u, v, depths, eddies, eddies_byslice)

Methods

detect_eddies_3d(u, v, window_center[, ...])
plot2d([depth, boundary, vmax, quiver, ns])	plot the 2D vorticity field superimposed with eddies detection at the nearest layer depth
