Calculate wave-activity flux
WaveFlux(gh, u, v, lon, lat, lev, g = 9.81, a = 6371000)
geopotential height
mean zonal velocity
mean meridional velocity
longitude (in degrees)
latitude (in degrees)
pressure level (in hPa)
acceleration of gravity
Earth's radius
A list with elements: longitude, latitude, and the two horizontal components of the wave activity flux.
