The focus of my summer internship was working on MetPy, both adding new
functionality and updating existing documentation to reflect recent updates to MetPy. In
particular, I focused on expanding current declarative syntax functionality to Matplotlib’s
pcolormesh
via the RasterPlot class. Declarative syntax enables quick and easy plotting
of data, particularly for users new to Python or MetPy.

This summer, I worked with Unidata AWIPS (Advanced Weather
Interactive Processing System), contributing to educational resources for and outreach
within Unidata's user community. Unidata AWIPS supports two visualization frameworks for
rendering meteorological and geographic data: CAVE, a graphical user interface (GUI)
application, and Python-AWIPS, a programmatic application programming interface (API) for
EDEX. Users can learn about each through multiple resources, including blog posts on
topical updates and tutorials via AWIPS Tips,
eLearning courses like Learn AWIPS CAVE,
and examples of data plotting with Python-AWIPS.

improving my coding practices to feel confident writing reproducible and sharable
code. My time at Unidata not only gave me a structure for writing
sharable pieces of software, but also helped me in exploring data manipulation and
visualization practices to their full creative extent.

The overarching theme of my projects this summer has been improving the accessibility of
the
Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) for
the average scientist. The IDV is a versatile and powerful, though complicated, program.
When I ask people if they’ve heard of the IDV, there are two types of answers that stand

like “I’ve tried to figure it out, but didn’t get very far.” I worked to reach
those who
gave the second answer.
