multimodemodel.beta_plane(f0, beta, y0)[source]#

Return a closure that computes the Coriolis parameter on a beta plane.

The coriolis parameter is computes as

\[f = f_0 + \beta * (y - y_0)\]

Parameters:

f0 (float) – Coriolis parameter at y=y0.
beta (float) – Meridional derivative of f.
y0 (float) – y coordinate about which the Coriolis parameter is linearly approximated.

Returns:
