An option is provided to scale the data before writing the new values to an output file. The horizontal dimensions of the grid are assumed to be in meters. Geographical grids may be used by specifying the |SYN_OPT-f| option that scales degrees to meters. If you have grids with dimensions in km, you could change this to meters using :doc:`grdedit` or scale the output with :doc:`grdmath`. Required Arguments ------------------ .. |Add_ingrid| replace:: 2-D binary grid file to be operated on. For cross-spectral operations, also give the second grid file *ingrid2*. .. include:: explain_grd_inout.rst_ :start-after: ingrid-syntax-begins :end-before: ingrid-syntax-ends **-G**\ *outfile* Specify the name of the output grid file (see :ref:`Grid File Formats `) or the 1-D spectrum table (see |-E|). Optional Arguments ------------------ .. _-A: **-A**\ *azimuth* Take the directional derivative in the *azimuth* direction measured in degrees CW from north. .. _-C: **-C**\ *zlevel* Upward (for *zlevel* > 0) or downward (for *zlevel* < 0) continue the field *zlevel* meters. .. _-D: **-D**\ [*scale*\|\ **g**] Differentiate the field, i.e., take :math:`\frac{\partial}{\partial z}` of the grid *z*. This is equivalent to multiplying by :math:`k_r` in the frequency domain (:math:`k_r` is radial wave number). Append a scale to multiply by :math:`k_r \cdot`\ *scale*) instead. Alternatively, append **g** to indicate that your data are geoid heights in meters and output should be gravity anomalies in mGal. Repeatable. [Default is no scale]. .. _-E: **-E**\ [**r**\|\ **x**\|\ **y**][**+n**][**+w**\ [**k**]] Estimate power spectrum in the radial or a horizontal direction. No grid file is created. If one grid is given then *f* (i.e., frequency or wave number), power[*f*], and 1 standard deviation in power[*f*] are written to the file set by |-G| [standard output]. If two grids are given we write *f* and 8 quantities: Xpower[*f*], Ypower[*f*], coherent power[*f*], noise power[*f*], phase[*f*], admittance[*f*], gain[*f*], coherency[*f*]. Each quantity is followed by its own 1-std dev error estimate, hence the output is 17 columns wide. Select your spectrum by choosing one of these directives: - **r** - Choose a radial spectrum [Default]. - **x** - Compute the spectrum in the *x*-direction instead. - **y** - Compute the spectrum in the *y*-direction instead. Two modifiers are available the adjust the output further: - **+w** - Write wavelength *w* instead of frequency *f*, and if your grid is geographic you may further append **k** to scale wavelengths from meter [Default] to km. - **+n** - Normalize spectrum so that the mean spectral values per frequency are reported [By default the spectrum is obtained by summing over several frequencies. .. _-F: **-F**\ [**r**\|\ **x**\|\ **y**]\ *params* Filter the data. Place **x** or **y** immediately after |-F| to filter *x* or *y* direction only; default is isotropic [**r**]. Choose between a cosine-tapered band-pass, a Gaussian band-pass filter, or a Butterworth band-pass filter. Cosine-taper: Specify four wavelengths *lc*/*lp*/*hp*/*hc* in correct units (see |SYN_OPT-f|) to design a bandpass filter: wavelengths greater than *lc* or less than *hc* will be cut, wavelengths greater than *lp* and less than *hp* will be passed, and wavelengths in between will be cosine-tapered. E.g., **-F**\ 1000000/250000/50000/10000 |SYN_OPT-f| will bandpass, cutting wavelengths > 1000 km and < 10 km, passing wavelengths between 250 km and 50 km. To make a highpass or lowpass filter, give hyphens (-) for *hp*/*hc* or *lc*/*lp*. E.g., **-Fx**-/-/50/10 will lowpass *x*, passing wavelengths > 50 and rejecting wavelengths < 10. **-Fy**\ 1000/250/-/- will highpass *y*, passing wavelengths < 250 and rejecting wavelengths > 1000. Gaussian band-pass: Append *lo*/*hi*, the two wavelengths in correct units (see |SYN_OPT-f|) to design a bandpass filter. At the given wavelengths the Gaussian filter weights will be 0.5. To make a highpass or lowpass filter, give a hyphen (-) for the *hi* or *lo* wavelength, respectively. E.g., **-F**-/30 will lowpass the data using a Gaussian filter with half-weight at 30, while **-F**\ 400/- will highpass the data. Butterworth band-pass: Append *lo*/*hi*/*order*, the two wavelengths in correct units (see |SYN_OPT-f|) and the filter order (an integer) to design a bandpass filter. At the given cut-off wavelengths the Butterworth filter weights will be 0.707 (i.e., the power spectrum will therefore be reduced by 0.5). To make a highpass or lowpass filter, give a hyphen (-) for the *hi* or *lo* wavelength, respectively. E.g., **-F**-/30/2 will lowpass the data using a 2nd-order Butterworth filter, with half-weight at 30, while **-F**\ 400/-/2 will highpass the data. **Note**: For filtering in the time (or space) domain instead, see :doc:`grdfilter`. .. _-G: **-G**\ *outfile*\|\ *table* Filename for output netCDF grid file OR 1-D data table (see |-E|). This is optional for -E (spectrum written to standard output) but mandatory for all other options that require a grid output. .. _-I: **-I**\ [*scale*\|\ **g**] Integrate the field, i.e., compute :math:`\int z(x,y) dz`. This is equivalent to divide by :math:`k_r` in the frequency domain (:math:`k_r` is radial wave number). Append a scale to divide by :math:`k_r \cdot`\ *scale* instead. Alternatively, append **g** to indicate that your data set is gravity anomalies in mGal and output should be geoid heights in meters. Repeatable. [Default is no scale]. .. _-N: .. include:: explain_fft.rst_ .. _-Q: **-Q** Selects no wavenumber operations. Useful in conjunction with |-N| modifiers when you wish to write out the 2-D spectrum (or other intermediate grid products) only. .. _-S: **-S**\ *scale*\|\ **d** Multiply each element by *scale* in the space domain (after the frequency domain operations). [Default is 1.0]. Alternatively, append **d** to convert deflection of vertical to micro-radians. .. |Add_-V| replace:: |Add_-V_links| .. include:: explain_-V.rst_ :start-after: **Syntax** :end-before: **Description** |SYN_OPT-f| Geographic grids (dimensions of longitude, latitude) will be converted to meters via a "Flat Earth" approximation using the current ellipsoid parameters. .. include:: explain_help.rst_ Grid Distance Units ------------------- If the grid does not have meter as the horizontal unit, append **+u**\ *unit* to the input file name to convert from the specified unit to meter. If your grid is geographic, convert distances to meters by supplying |SYN_OPT-f| instead. Considerations -------------- netCDF COARDS grids will automatically be recognized as geographic. For other grids geographical grids were you want to convert degrees into meters, select |SYN_OPT-f|. If the data are close to either pole, you should consider projecting the grid file onto a rectangular coordinate system using :doc:`grdproject` Data Detrending --------------- The default detrending mode is to remove a best-fitting linear plane (**+d**). Consult and use |-N| to select other modes. Normalization of Spectrum ------------------------- By default, the power spectrum returned by |-E| simply sums the contributions from frequencies that are part of the output frequency. For *x*- or *y*-spectra this means summing the power across the other frequency dimension, while for the radial spectrum it means summing up power within each annulus of width *delta_q*, the radial frequency (*q*) spacing. A consequence of this summing is that the radial spectrum of a white noise process will give a linear radial power spectrum that is proportional to *q*. Appending **n** will instead compute the mean power per output frequency and in this case the white noise process will have a white radial spectrum as well. Examples -------- .. include:: explain_example.rst_ To obtain the normalized radial spectrum from the remote data grid @white_noise.nc, after removing the mean, let us try: :: gmt grdfft @white_noise.nc -Er+n -N+a > spectrum.txt To upward continue the sea-level magnetic anomalies in the file mag_0.nc to a level 800 m above sealevel: :: gmt grdfft mag_0.nc -C800 -V -Gmag_800.nc To transform geoid heights in m (geoid.nc) on a geographical grid to free-air gravity anomalies in mGal: :: gmt grdfft geoid.nc -Dg -V -Ggrav.nc To transform gravity anomalies in mGal (faa.nc) to deflections of the vertical (in micro-radians) in the 038 direction, we must first integrate gravity to get geoid, then take the directional derivative, and finally scale radians to micro-radians: :: gmt grdfft faa.nc -Ig -A38 -S1e6 -V -Gdefl_38.nc Second vertical derivatives of gravity anomalies are related to the curvature of the field.
