MetPy 0.10.0 has been released:
potential_vorticity_baroclinicwas changed to take all 3D variables, with dimensions ordered: vertical, y, x.- MetPy has gained a simplified plotting interface designed to mimic that of GEMPAK. It uses a handful of objects on which users set attributes to values to control the plot, requiring data in an xarray
DataArrayorDataset. See MetPy's plotting examples for more information. - MetPy's xarray accessor now has its own versions of
locandselthat accept unit-ed values. - Added an n-point soothing function
moist_lapseanddry_lapsenow accept an arbitrary starting (reference) pressure value.potential_vorticity_baroclinicnow works with data either on isobaric or isentropic surfaces.- MetPy now has state borders that match the boundaries of the county borders.
SkewTinstances can now be created at an arbitrary rectangular location within a figure.- MetPy's calculations have been adjusted so that the values of constants can be overridden by changing the values in the
constantsmodule.
