pyPDAF.PDAFomi.set_ncoord

pyPDAF.PDAFomi.set_ncoord()

Setting the number of spatial dimensions of observations for i-th observation type. This is a mandatory property for OMI functionality.

Properties of obs_f are typically set in user-supplied function py__init_dim_obs_pdaf.

ncoord gives the coordinate dimension of the observation. This information is used by observation distance computation for localisation. For example, ncoord=2 for 2D observation coordinates.

Parameters:
  • i_obs (int) – index of observations

  • ncoord (int) – Dimension of the observation coordinate
