earthkit.meteo.wind.fieldlist.speed

earthkit.meteo.wind.fieldlist.speed(u, v)

Compute the wind speed/vector magnitude.

Parameters:

  • u (FieldList|Field) – u wind/x vector component.

  • v (FieldList|Field) – v wind/y vector component (same units as u). Must be of the same type as u (FieldList or Field) and have the same number of fields as u.

Returns:

Wind speed/magnitude (same units as u and v). The result has the same type as the input (FieldList or Field).

Return type:

FieldList|Field
