Re-projecting from CAR to CEA¶
The pfsspy solver takes a cylindrical-equal-area (CEA) projected magnetic field map as input, which is equally spaced in sin(latitude). Some synoptic field maps are equally spaced in latitude however, which is a plate carée (CAR) projection.
This example shows how to use the pfsspy.utils.car_to_cea
function to
reproject a CAR projection to a CEA projection that pfsspy can take as input.
from pfsspy import sample_data
from pfsspy import utils
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Load a sample ADAPT map, which has a CAR projection
adapt_maps = utils.load_adapt(sample_data.get_adapt_map())
adapt_map_car = adapt_maps[0]
