class rojak.turbulence.diagnostic.VerticalWindShear(u_wind, v_wind, geopotential)[source]#

Vertical wind shear CAT diagnostic

(4)#\[S_{v} = \left| \frac{ \partial \mathbf{u} }{ \partial z } \right| = \sqrt{ \left| \frac{ \partial u }{ \partial z } \right|^{2} + \left| \frac{ \partial v }{ \partial z } \right| ^{2} }\]
Parameters:

  • u_wind (DataArray) – Zonal wind speeds in m/s

  • v_wind (DataArray) – Meridional wind speeds in m/s
