| # Modern-Sounding-Plotter | ||
| A Jupyter Notebook that creates a modern way to visualize sounding data for the purpose of environmental analysis. | ||
|
|
||
|
|

|
|
||
| ## HEADS UP: | ||
| #### This script was written before the latest release of NumPy, and therefore a majority of this script will fail due to NumPy syntax errors within SharpPy functionality (as of early 2023). | ||
| #### I am in the process of writing a new updated version of this code using MetPy functions rather than SharpPy (as of 8/2023) | ||

||
| The task of this script is to retrieve RAOB data, preform a number of calculations, and plot the data | ||
| on a Skew-T & hodograph. | ||
| The task of this script is to retrieve RAOB data using the SounderPy module ([Visit SounderPy on GitHub Here](https://github.com/kylejgillett/sounderpy/wiki)), perform a number of MetPy calculations, and plot the data on a Skew-T & hodograph. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| The purpose of this script is to provide a modern, clean, clear, and concise sounding plot that makes | ||
| for quick and easy assessment of the data for environmental analysis purposes, focused on severe weather. | ||
|
|
||
| It should be noted that, as with any sounding plot, many of the calculations & plotting operations here | ||
| shoulder heavy assumptions, and these assumptions should be well understood to get the most out of any | ||
| sounding plot. | ||

| Numerous python libraries are utilized throughout this script, including MetPy and SharpPy's python packages. | ||
| Several packages here may need to be installed onto your machine to run this code. | ||

| - MAP INSET - | ||
| You will be able to plot tornado tracks and storm reports from the SPC on a small map inset on the sounding. | ||
| Please note: tornado tracks as of 12/22 are only, available between 1950 and 2021. If you are plotting a date | ||
| in 2022 or 2023 - turn off plot_TorTracks. SPC Storm Reports should be availible now through June 1st, 1999. | ||
| Missing or bad data is possible. | ||
|
|
||
| You can turn on reports or tracks by setting plot_TorTracks, plot_TorReports, plot_WindReports, & plot_HailReports equal, | ||
| to True, or off by setting them to False. | ||
