MetPy Mondays #288 - Making a Weather Front Map in Python
12 June 2023
Tune in to our new MetPy Monday video where we unveil how to craft frontal weather maps with MetPy's front path effects. Decode bulletins from the Weather Prediction Center and more!
MetPy Mondays #287 - Parsing Weather Prediction Center Surface Bulletins
05 June 2023
This week we'll be learning how to parse the Surface Bulletins from the Weather Prediction Center. We'll take it a step further by creating a histogram to visualize the strength of the current high and low pressure systems. Armed with this data, we'll be ready to tackle the next step: constructing a frontal map.
MetPy Mondays #286 - Drawing Fronts and Boundaries with Path Effects
29 May 2023
Enhance your meteorological visualizations with path effects in Python! Join us this MetPy Monday as we explore drawing fronts and boundaries.
MetPy Mondays #285 - MetPy 1.5.0 is Out!
22 May 2023
In this episode, we are thrilled to announce the release of MetPy version 1.5.0, packed with exciting new features and enhancements. Join us as we dive into the latest update and explore how to safely test new versions of Python packages using the conda clone command.
MetPy Mondays #284 - Enums with Flags in Python
15 May 2023
In this episode, we dive deeper into the Python enum and explore their applications in meteorological analysis. Enums provide a convenient way to define and work with a fixed set of symbolic names, making code more readable.
In this tutorial, we showcase how Python enums of the Flag type can be leveraged to represent various meteorological scenarios. From weather conditions and wind directions to atmospheric phenomena and precipitation types, enums enable us to create meaningful combinations using bitwise operators like OR (|) and AND (&).
