pysecs.calc_bearing(latlon1, latlon2)¶ Calculate the bearing (direction) between a set of points.
This function calculates the bearing in radians between any number of latitude and longitude points. It is the direction from point 1 to point 2 going from the cartesian x-axis towards the cartesian y-axis.
- Parameters
latlon1 (ndarray (n x 2 [lat, lon])) – An array of n (latitude, longitude) points.
latlon2 (ndarray (m x 2 [lat, lon])) – An array of m (latitude, longitude) points.
- Returns
The array of bearings between the input arrays.
- Return type
ndarray (n x m)
