CSC2SD(3NCARG)

💫 CSC2SD — it's giving "Cartesian to lat/lon" ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the CSC2SD page from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual (that's the 3NCARG section, iykyk). Sit down, hydrate, and let's convert some coordinates 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

CSC2SD — literally just convert from Cartesian to lat/lon coordinates. that's the whole job. she does one thing and she ate 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

CALL CSC2SD (N, X, Y, Z, RLAT, RLON)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

here's the cast of characters, no cap:

  • N — (integer, input) the number of coordinates you're converting. how many points are we doing, bestie?
  • X,Y,Z — (double precision, input) the Cartesian coordinates of the input points. your starting point, your origin story 💖
  • RLAT — (double precision, output) the latitudes of the output coordinates, in degrees.
  • RLON — (double precision, output) the longitudes of the output coordinates, in degrees.

🌈 USAGE 🌈

so the way that this works: you call CSC2SD when you wanna find the equivalent latitude and longitude coordinates for some Cartesian coordinates on the unit sphere 🌐

the coordinate (1.,0.,0.) is mapped to the latitude/longitude coordinate (0.,0.). iconic mapping, no notes.

the latitude/longitude coordinates come back to you in degrees — degrees, bestie, not radians, don't come for me.

also fun fact: CSC2SD is the double precision version of CSC2S. she's the glow-up 💅

🔥 ACCESS 🔥

to use CSC2SD, you gotta load the NCAR Graphics library ngmath. that's the vibe check you must pass. periodt.
