### About

The module `pyvortex` consists of functions to calculate the [equivalent latitude](https://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/citedby/10.1175/1520-0469%282003%29060%3C0287%3ATELADT%3E2.0.CO%3B2) and edge of a polar vortex using [Nash criteria](https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/96JD00066).

### Installation

```

pip install pyvortex

```

install the latest version using 

```

pip install git+https://github.com/pankajkarman/pyvortex.git

```

## Documentation

Latest documentation is available [here](https://pankajkarman.github.io/pyvortex/).

### Usage

`pyvortex` is easy to use. Just import:

```python

import pyvortex as vr

```

#### Northern Hemisphere

Instantiate the `PolarVortex` class using: 

```python

pol = PolarVortex(pv, uwind)

```

Get equivalent lqtitude for the provided vorticity data as:

```python

eql = pol.get_eql()

```

If you want to get both equivalent latitude and Vortex edge, just use:

```python

eql = pol.get_edge(min_eql=30)

```

Example:

#### Southern Hemisphere

Flip pv and uwind along latitude dimension and multiply pv by -1. All other things will be the same.
