Support for vector visualisation

✨ Feature Request

Hi again 😄

Are there any functions/methods in geovista that make it easier to transform vector-representing data, such as wind components, and visualise them on a sphere (ideally on an unstructured grid too)?

Motivation

As I mentioned in another issue (#15), I would like to visualise output of LFRic on a sphere, including the 3 standard wind components.

A while ago I wrote a simple function to convert u, v, w-cubes from the UM output to a pyvista mesh, so I was wondering if geovista would provide the same functionality.

Thanks in advance.

Hey @dennissergeev,

I'm also plumb in the space of playing with LFRic UGRID data, so we're completely in the same domain.

As per #15, totally yes, this is most definitely in the pipeline for sure... but not just quite yet, as there is a tonne of fundamentals to mature in geovista before we get to that point.

Perhaps we could hangout over a virtual coffee sometime? I think that would be super useful. Ping me at the Met Office and we can take it from there (if that helps?)

[dennissergeev]

That's great, thanks!

I'd be happy to chat, though I'm not at the MO (I work at the university) - so perhaps over zoom/teams?
