Re: Calculating circulation around a latitude circle

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33857555/integrating-a-vector-field-a-numpy-array-using-scipy-integrate
This SO Q & A is doing something similar to what I am wanting to do. My
question still stands whether I need to interpolate my Vx, Vy using Scipy
and then use integrate.odeint ? I have a 2d array of velocity components
Vx(x,y) and Vy(x,y) where x and y are longitude and latitude.  In my case
around the latitude circle the latitude does not change.
