python - 使用 matplotlib 在垂直截面上绘制风矢量

Question

我搜索了高低，但找不到这个问题的另一个答案。

我正在尝试将气象局统一模型在南极半岛上空的输出可视化。目前，我有一个纵向横截面，潜在温度绘制为填充轮廓。我想在此之上绘制风矢量，使它们看起来更像：

我试图调整 matplotlib 示例中给出的纬度/经度坐标的示例（例如 quiver_demo），但没有运气（可能是因为我做错了明显的错误）。

我有风的 u、v 和 w 分量（尽管我不需要 v，因为我已经通过一条纬线截取了一部分）。

我目前正在使用一个名为 iris (v1.7) 的模块，它允许我处理我拥有的文件（例如，从旋转的极点投影转换并将纬度/经度转换为合理的坐标），所以请原谅不熟悉的行我的代码。

我的代码如下：

import iris
import iris.plot as iplt
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

# Load variables from file
fname = ['/pathname/filename.pp']
theta= iris.load_cube(fname,'air_potential_temperature') #all data are 3D 'cubes' of dimensions [x,y,z] = [40,800,800]
U = iris.load_cube(fname, 'eastward_wind')
W = iris.load_cube(fname, 'upward_air_velocity')
lev_ht = theta.coord('level_height').points # for extracting z coordinate only - shape = (40,)

##SPATIAL COORDINATES
## rotate projection to account for rotated pole
var_name = theta
pole_lon = 298.5
pole_lat = 22.99
rotated_lat = var_name.coord('grid_latitude').points
rotated_lon = var_name.coord('grid_longitude').points
real_lon, real_lat = iris.analysis.cartography.unrotate_pole(rotated_lon,rotated_lat, pole_lon, pole_lat)

#define function to find index of gridbox in question
def find_gridbox(x,y):
    global lon_index, lat_index
    lat_index = np.argmin((real_lat-x)**2) #take whole array and subtract lat you want from each point, then find the smallest difference
    lon_index = np.argmin((real_lon-y)**2)
    return lon_index, lat_index

lon_index, lat_index = find_gridbox(-66.58333, -63.166667) # coordinates of Cabinet Inlet

#add unrotated lats/lons into variables
lat = var_name.coord('grid_latitude')
lon = var_name.coord('grid_longitude')
New_lat = iris.coords.DimCoord(real_lat, standard_name='latitude',long_name="grid_latitude",var_name="lat",units=lat.units)
New_lon= iris.coords.DimCoord(real_lon, standard_name='longitude',long_name="grid_longitude",var_name="lon",units=lon.units)

var_names = [theta, U, W]

for var in var_names:
    var.remove_coord('grid_latitude')
    var.add_dim_coord(New_lat, data_dim=1)
    var.remove_coord('grid_longitude')
    var.add_dim_coord(New_lon, data_dim=2)

# Create 2D subsets of data for plotting (longitudinal transects)
theta_slice = theta[:,lat_index,:]
U_slice = U[:,lat_index,:]
W_slice = W[:,lat_index,:]

# Create 2d arrays of lon/alt for gridding
x, y = np.meshgrid(lon.points, lev_ht)
u = U_slice
w = W_slice

# plot
fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax1.set_axis_bgcolor('k') #set orography to be black
ax3 = iplt.contourf(theta_slice, cmap=plt.cm.bwr)
ax1.set_ylim(0,5500)
barbs = plt.quiver(x, y, u, w)
ax3.set_clim(vmin=250, vmax=320)
ax1.set_title('25 May 00:00 UTC', fontsize=28)
ax1.set_ylabel('Height (m)', fontsize=22)
ax1.set_xlabel('Longitude', fontsize=22)
ax1.tick_params(axis='both', which='major', labelsize=18)
plt.colorbar(ax3)
plt.show()

但是，当绘制向量时，它们显示为线：

我不确定这是因为它们过于聚集在一起（当我更改线宽和比例等线条属性时，向量变得非常疯狂）还是因为我的输入不正确。u 和 w 变量是分别包含西风和向上风分量的二维数组（经度/高度），因此应该包含这些方向上的运动幅度。

抱歉，我无法发布实际文件：它们采用特定的 Met Office .pp 格式（当然），但具有与 netCDF 相似的品质。我试图在代码注释中描述数据维度。
