Struct ClimateSimulator 

pub struct ClimateSimulator {
    pub latitude_range: (f32, f32),
    pub base_temperature: f32,
    pub precipitation_scale: f32,
    pub wind_direction: (f32, f32),
}

Simulates climate across a terrain given a heightmap.

Models temperature gradients, Hadley/Ferrel circulation cells, rain shadow from mountains, and ocean current effects.

Fields

latitude_range: (f32, f32)

World latitude range [south, north] in degrees.

base_temperature: f32

Global temperature offset in normalized units.

precipitation_scale: f32

Global precipitation scale factor.

wind_direction: (f32, f32)

Prevailing wind direction (normalized x, z).

Implementations

impl ClimateSimulator

pub fn new() -> Self

pub fn temperature(&self, nx: f32, ny: f32, altitude: f32) -> f32

Compute temperature at a given normalized position (x, y in [0,1]) and altitude.

pub fn precipitation( &self, nx: f32, ny: f32, altitude: f32, heightmap: &HeightMap, ) -> f32

Compute precipitation at a given position, accounting for rain shadow.

pub fn ocean_current_effect(&self, nx: f32, ny: f32) -> f32

Compute ocean current warming/cooling effect at a coastal point.

pub fn simulate(&self, heightmap: &HeightMap) -> ClimateMap

Generate a full ClimateMap from a heightmap.

Trait Implementations

impl Default for ClimateSimulator

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.
