default_params

alias of ACCFParams

eval(source=None, **params)

Evaluate accfs along flight trajectory or on meteorology grid.

Parameters:

• source (GeoVectorDataset | Flight | MetDataset | None, optional) – Input GeoVectorDataset or Flight. If None, evaluates at the met grid points.

• **params (Any) – Overwrite model parameters before eval

Returns:

GeoVectorDataset | Flight | MetDataArray – Returns np.nan if interpolating outside meteorology grid.

Raises:

NotImplementedError – Raises if input source is not supported.

Required meteorology pressure level variables. Each element in the list is a MetVariable or a tuple[MetVariable]. If element is a tuple[MetVariable], the variable depends on the data source. Only one variable in the tuple is required.
