orbitx.utils._matchups.get_dist.get_dist(existing_orbits: Dataset, new_orbit: Dataset) → DataArray[source]#

Calculate the distance in kilometers on the earth (specified in decimal degrees) between a collection of orbits and a new orbit at each time stamp

Parameters:

  • existing_orbits (xr.Dataset) – the orbits which have already been matched up

  • new_orbit (xr.Dataset) – the new orbit

Returns:

at each time stamp, the distances between the new orbit and each of the existing orbits

Return type:

np.array
