- generic_2d_grid.scalar_outer_product(scalararray, vectorfield)¶
Return the outer product of a scalar (t location) with a two-dimensional vector field (u,v location)
So far, only available for vector fields at u,v grid_location.
Parameters: scalararray : xarray.DataArray
vectorfield : VectorField2d namedtuple
two-dimensional vector field at u,v grid_location
Notes
Relocates scalararray at u,v grid_location then multiply each component of vectorfield by the relocated scalararray.
