Meteorographica: python code for plotting weathermaps

This code library extends SciTools (Iris and Cartopy) in providing tools for plotting meteorological data. In particular it supports plotting synoptic charts - maps of instantanious surface weather, and indicating the uncertainties in those charts.

Installation instructions:

• Installation

Modules in the library:

• Meteorographica.pressure
• Meteorographica.wind
• Meteorographica.precipitation
• Meteorographica.observations
• Meteorographica.background

Use of the package is best illustrated by example:

• Examples
  • Just the background
  • MSLP contours
  • 10m wind
  • Precipitation
  • Observations
  • Multivariate
  • Rotated pole
  • Pressure spaghetti plot
  • Pressure spread plot
  • Regional comparison

Note that this is one person’s personal library: I have no resources for support or extension beyond what is necessary for my own research. You are welcome to re-use any part of it (subject to the license, see below), but you would almost certainly be better advised to copy any bits you like and incoporate them into your own codebase than to rely on the stability of this.
