hn2016-falwa 0.1.6

python package to compute finite-amplitude local wave activity (Huang and Nakamura 2016, JAS)

hn2016_falwa is a package that contains modules to compute the finite-amplitude
local wave activity (FALWA) proposed in Huang and Nakamura (2016 JAS):
http://dx.doi.org/10.1175/JAS-D-15-0194.1
The current version of the library handles calculation of FALWA in a spherical
barotropic model and QGPV fields on isobaric surfaces.

The functions in this library can compute the tracer equivalent-latitude relationship
proposed in Nakamura (1996) (Also, see Allen and Nakamura (2003)) and the (zonal mean)
finite-amplitude wave activity in spherical geometry as in Nakamura and Solomon (2010).

v0.1.6: Included LWA computation subroutines with *prescribed* equivalent latitude profile:
- barotropic_input_Qref_to_compute_LWA (for barotropic vorticity)
- qgpv_input_Qref_to_compute_LWA (for QGPV)
