ObsFunctionVelocity

This obsFunction is designed to compute wind speed based on u(eastward_wind) and v(northward_wind) components of wind.

Required input parameters:

eastward_wind

zonel velocity, i.e. the component of the horizontal wind TOWARDS EAST

northward_wind

meridional velocity, i.e. the component of the horizontal wind TOWARDS NORTH

Example configuration:

Here is an example to use this obsFunction to compute velocity and then reject data if the velocity value is bigger than maxvalue.
