earth2studio.statistics.weights.lat_weight#
- earth2studio.statistics.weights.lat_weight(lat)[source]#
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 (Union[np.ndarray, torch.Tensor]) – Array of latitude values, in degrees. Should be in the range [-90, 90].
- Returns:
weights – Array of latitude weights, formally defined above.
- Return type:
Union[np.ndarray, torch.Tensor]
