windkit.empty.empty_raster_map

windkit.empty.empty_raster_map(output_locs, resolution, map_type='elevation')[source]

Create empty raster map data array The values in the raster map are a 2d gaussian and the boundaries are defined by output_locs.

Parameters:
  • output_locs (xarray.Dataset) – A windkit spatial object that defines the bounding box to create a raster map.

  • resolution (float) – Resolution of the raster map.

  • map_type (str) – Raster map type. Available options are “elevation”, “roughness”, or “landcover”, defaults to “elevation.

Returns:

raster_da – windkit raster map data array.

Return type:

xarray.DataArray
