BUG: longitude orbits not working correctly or consistently #1001
Labels
Milestone
Comments
Another idea could be to have the orbital period in the Instrument file and allow the user to use the satellite orbital period with a user-specified starting point. |
The longitude orbit iterator currently only looks for negative gradients in longitude, aka it is expecting longitudes to go from 0 to 360, rather than from 360 down to 0. The code needs an option for the type and value of the gradient to trigger off. |

Describe the bug
Longitude breaks for orbits are not robust and frequently break with unexpected results.
To Reproduce
DMSP is a good example for this. The longitude key is 'glon'. This will break whether you use longitude in the +/- 180 range or 0-360 range.
Expected behavior
I expect one orbit to have the whole range of longitudes. Bonus: latitude breaks. Currently 'polar' will break with the hemisphere changes. This could be easily adapted to break the orbit at the northern or southern peak of an orbit.
