shoot.eddies.eddies3d.EddiesByDepth

class shoot.eddies.eddies3d.EddiesByDepth(u, v, depth, eddies3d, nb_eddies)

3D eddy detection by associating eddies across depth levels

Detects eddies at each vertical level and associates them vertically to create 3D coherent structures.

Parameters:

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

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

• depth (xarray.DataArray) – Depth coordinate.

• eddies3d (dict) – Dictionary of Eddies2D objects at each depth level.

• nb_eddies (int) – Total number of 3D eddies detected.

eddies3d

Eddies organized by depth level.

Type:

dict

nb_eddies

Total count of 3D eddies.

Type:

int

__init__(u, v, depth, eddies3d, nb_eddies)

Initialize 3D eddies by depth

Parameters:

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

• depth (xarray.DataArray) – Depth coordinate.

• eddies3d (dict) – Dictionary of Eddies2D objects at each depth level.

• nb_eddies (int) – Total number of 3D eddies detected.
