pysecs.calc_bearing#
- pysecs.calc_bearing(latlon1: ndarray, latlon2: ndarray) ndarray #
Calculate the bearing (direction) between a set of points.
This function calculates the bearing in radians between any number of latitude and longitude points. It is the direction from point 1 to point 2 going from the cartesian x-axis towards the cartesian y-axis.
- Parameters:
latlon1 (ndarray (n, 2 [lat, lon])) – An array of n (latitude, longitude) points.
latlon2 (ndarray (m, 2 [lat, lon])) – An array of m (latitude, longitude) points.
- Returns:
The array of bearings between the input arrays.
- Return type:
ndarray (n, m)
