Documentation

Compute the cosine-based latitude weighting for a given tensor representing latitude coordinates. The latitude coordinates are assumed to be in degrees.

Uses the formula weights = cos(lat * pi / 180.0)

Parameters:

• lat (T) –

  Array of latitude values, in degrees. Should be in the range [-90, 90].

Returns:

• weights ( Union[ndarray, Tensor] ) –

  Array of latitude weights, formally defined above.
