[ferret_users] calculating upwelling index



Hi,

How do I can compute the UI for an specific region, knowing that the zonal (meridional) component is the responsible for the upwelling in this area? How the program takes into account the latitudinal variation in order to compute the right sin(lat) in the formula:

UI = rho_air*Cd *|W|* (U or V) / 2*omega*sin(lat)* rho_water

Cheers,

Antonio
