pybacktrack.generate_lon_lat_points

pybacktrack.generate_lon_lat_points(grid_spacing_degrees)

Generates a global grid of points uniformly spaced in longitude and latitude.

Parameters:

grid_spacing_degrees (float) – Spacing between points (in degrees).

Return type:

list of (longitude, latitude) tuples

Raises:

ValueError – If grid_spacing_degrees is negative or zero.

Notes

Longitudes start at -180 (dateline) and latitudes start at -90. If 180 is an integer multiple of grid_spacing_degrees then the final longitude is also on the dateline (+180).

Added in version 1.4.
