# xarray.ufuncs.deg2rad¶

xarray.ufuncs.deg2rad = <xarray.ufuncs._UFuncDispatcher object>

xarray specific variant of numpy.deg2rad. Handles xarray.Dataset, xarray.DataArray, xarray.Variable, numpy.ndarray and dask.array.Array objects with automatic dispatching.

Documentation from numpy:

deg2rad(x, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting=’same_kind’, order=’K’, dtype=None, subok=True[, signature, extobj])

Convert angles from degrees to radians.

Parameters
xarray_like

Angles in degrees.

outndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional

A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.

wherearray_like, optional

Values of True indicate to calculate the ufunc at that position, values of False indicate to leave the value in the output alone.

**kwargs

For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs.

Returns
yndarray

The corresponding angle in radians. This is a scalar if x is a scalar.

rad2deg

Convert angles from radians to degrees.

unwrap

Remove large jumps in angle by wrapping.

Notes

New in version 1.3.0.

deg2rad(x) is x * pi / 180.
