SounderPy v3.0.2 | "The Parcel Update"

example-sounding_dark

The Scoop:

Additions

  1. ecape-parcel-py specialized parcel calculation and plotting logic
  2. Relative humidity w/ height annotations on 'full' sounding plot
  3. 6-9km kinematic parameters added to the 'kinematics' parameter print-out box on 'full' sounding and hodograph plots
  4. User-defined and custom storm motion support using the kwarg storm_motion
  5. Accept Matplotlib colormaps for composite-sounding plots using the cmap kwarg
  6. VAD hodograph plot function and data retrieval function added, but dependency issues exist -- full release of these features will be delayed.

Changed

  1. Composite-sounding plots now default to matplotlib colormap 'viridis' instead of a hard-coded list of colors. Users can still use the color_to_use kwarg or the new cmap kwarg to override the colors used.
  2. The thermodynamics section of the 'full' sounding plot was rearranged. 'SR-ECAPE' (SB, MU & ML) replaced the 'NCAPE' section.
  3. Storm motion logic was reworked in the .calc module to use 'sm_u'/'sm_v' instead of 'rm_u'/'rm_v' so that all calculations and plotting responds to user-defined storm motion.
  4. Some aspects of the skew-t plot layout were adjusted for improved readability. DGZ, HGZ, Max-lapse rate, and EIL annotations are now located on the left of the plot.

Bug Fixes

  1. Band-aid-ed missing BUFKIT dewpoints so parcel calculations stop failing on BUFKIT forecast model data
  2. Fixed ERA5 data parsing issue
