pyrfu.pyrf.gradient module#

pyrfu.pyrf.gradient.gradient(inp)[source]#

Computes time derivative of the input variable.

Parameters:

inp (xarray.DataArray) – Time series of the input variable.

Returns:

out – Time series of the time derivative of the input variable.

Return type:

xarray.DataArray

Examples

>>> from pyrfu import mms, pyrf

Time interval

>>> tint = ["2017-07-18T13:03:34.000", "2017-07-18T13:07:00.000"]

Spacecraft index

>>> mms_id = 1

Load magnetic field

>>> b_xyz = mms.get_data("B_gse_fgm_brst_l2", tint, mms_id)

Time derivative of the magnetic field

>>> db_dt = pyrf.gradient(b_xyz)
