Method Details

### __init__(self, hs, p) (Constructor) |
(INTERNAL) Set up the grid axes, the `SciPy` interpolator and several internal geoid attributes. Parameters: `hs` - Grid knots with known height (`numpy 2darray`). `p` - The `slat, wlon, nlat, nlon, dlat, dlon` and other geoid parameters (`INTERNAL`). Raises: `GeoidError` - Invalid kind. `SciPyError` - A `scipy.interpolate.inter2d` or `-.RectBivariateSpline` issue. `SciPyWarning` - A `scipy.interpolate.inter2d` or `-.RectBivariateSpline` warning as exception. Overrides: object.__init__

### __call__(self, *llis) (Call operator) |
Interpolate the geoid height for one or several locations. Parameters: `llis` - The location or locations (`LatLon`, ... or `LatLon`s). Returns: A single interpolated geoid height (`float`) or a list or tuple of interpolated geoid heights (`float`s). Raises: `GeoidError` - Insufficient number of llis or an invalid lli. `RangeError` - An lli is outside this geoid's lat- or longitude range. `SciPyError` - A `scipy.interpolate.inter2d` or `-.RectBivariateSpline` issue. `SciPyWarning` - A `scipy.interpolate.inter2d` or `-.RectBivariateSpline` warning as exception. Overrides: heights._HeightBase.__call__

### __repr__(self) (Representation operator) |

Returns: 3-Tuple `(lat, lon, height)` if LatLon is `None` or a LatLon(lat, lon, height) instance with the lat-, longitude and height of the grid center location.

### height(self, lats, lons) |
Interpolate the geoid height for one or several lat-/longitudes. Parameters: `lats` - Latitude or latitudes (`degrees` or `degrees`s). `lons` - Longitude or longitudes (`degrees` or `degrees`s). Returns: A single interpolated geoid height (`float`) or a list of interpolated geoid heights (`float`s). Raises: `GeoidError` - Insufficient or non-matching number of lats and lons. `RangeError` - A lat or lon is outside this geoid's lat- or longitude range. `SciPyError` - A `scipy.interpolate.inter2d` or `-.RectBivariateSpline` issue. `SciPyWarning` - A `scipy.interpolate.inter2d` or `-.RectBivariateSpline` warning as exception.
