absolute_vorticity
- absolute_vorticity(rvo)
Computes the absolute vorticity from a relative vorticity
Fieldset
.The computation of absolute vorticity is based on the following formula:
\[2\Omega sin\phi + rvo\]where:
\(\phi\) is the latitude
\(\Omega\) is the Earth’s angular velocity (1/s).
The ecCodes paramId of the resulting fields is set to 3041 (absolute vorticity).
