Python ARM Radar TK

The Python ARM Radar Toolkit, Py-ART, is a Python module containing a collection of weather radar algorithms and utilities.

New Py-ART release today! Make sure update your version to 1.15.1! Lots of bug fixes included, addressing
- NEXRAD radar height units
- Volume Azimuthal Display retrievals
- Gatemapper improvements

Because why not, built a quick little radar plotter. It should come in handy for future classwork and projects! Here is some El-Reno eye-candy!

This is our last chance to register for the "Open Science in the Rockies" short course at the @ametsoc annual meeting (supported by @armnewsteam )! Registration closes December 29, 2022 ! https://t.co/HdsFzstMym

Well we think it looks nicer than the weather!

[Randy Chase @DopplerChase]

Trying out that new .@Py_ART colormap on a cold season precip event. Thoughts?

[Kyle J Gillett @wxkylegillett]

A close-up! Made using @Py_ART! I have some minor adjustments to make, but its a start!

[Python ARM Radar TK @Py_ART]

Very cool! Literally! Thanks to @lauratomkinsWX for contributing to #openscience!

[NC State Center for Geospatial Analytics @NCSUgeospatial]

Heavy snow & mixed precip look similar in radar imagery, so #GeospatialAnalytics Ph.D. candidate Laura Tomkins (@lauratomkinsWX) developed a new way to quickly and easily tell them apart. Her code is avail in the v1.11.8 release of @Py_ART. Learn more: https://t.co/mwTUnw9mko

@DopplerChase @alexhabe @Py_ART @mgroverwx Now my new favorite table

[Python ARM Radar TK @Py_ART]

We have a new release (1.14.1)! New features in this release include:
- 🛠️ New features, including colormaps and retrievals
- 📜 New examples, including a comparison of stratiform vs. convective classification
We are thankful for all the contributors who made this possible!

@samgardner_4 @DopplerChase Any interest in making this a contribution to Py-ART? :)

[Python ARM Radar TK @Py_ART]

We are excited to be participating in @ClosemberDev ! Interested in getting involved? Check out our issue describing some good first issues + places to get started https://t.co/I9e7d40L5o

[Python ARM Radar TK @Py_ART]

@kurdzowx @RadarScope It's not us :) the community contributed all those tools, and the @RadarScope team did a great job implementing it into their codebase! #OpenScience #OpenSource in action!

[Python ARM Radar TK @Py_ART]

@kurdzowx @RadarScope We think they are pretty neat too :)

[Python ARM Radar TK @Py_ART]

We are working on a new package, xradar, which brings this new radar radar standard + @xarray_dev together! Check out our documentation! https://t.co/fXOMl7lqeC

[@shobenase.bsky.social @Shobenase]

Modestly celebrating that the #WMO's Infrastructure Commission has endorsed the inclusion of the proposed CF/NetCDF profile for polar weather radar data, called FM301-CfRadial2, in the WMO Manual on Codes. This is a big milestone for the WMO and for the weather radar community!

[Python ARM Radar TK @Py_ART]

@Project_Pythia @armnewsteam The RELAMPAGO-CACTI example compares corrected and uncorrected dual-pol fields, emphasizing the importance of using quality-controlled data. We also walk through how to visualize hydrometeor classification fields! https://t.co/OE1KimryIM

[Python ARM Radar TK @Py_ART]

One other update on @Project_Pythia Radar Cookbooks! We added new workflow examples walking through working with #ARMTRACER data 📡, as well as data from the RELAMPAGO-CACTI campaign in Argentina ⛰️ https://t.co/nH7wpahMCS

[Python ARM Radar TK @Py_ART]

@Project_Pythia The #ARMTRACER related example walks through how to access radar data from the @armnewsteam archive, and plot an assortment of RHIs/PPIs from the data, resulting in an animation at the end! https://t.co/3Qrcaogpib

[Randy Chase @DopplerChase]

🛰️ DRpy update 🚨: Today I finally released v1.0.0 of DRpy. It is started to be used by some, so in order to enable reproducibility with this package, I released DRpy's first major version so it can get a DOI on zenodo https://t.co/goacdqkVOC

[Python ARM Radar TK @Py_ART]

@Metpy @rcjackson_wx And @rcjackson_wx 's #ARMTRACER related post can be found here! This will be helpful when using radar data collected during cell-tracking mode, with high spatial/temporal resolution. Satellite data is also included in the plots, providing context. https://t.co/chM2ms7sHr

[Python ARM Radar TK @Py_ART]

We have released a version of Py-ART!! Version 1.13.3! This includes
- 🪲 Bug fixes for default labels, and titles in the example gallery
- 📈 New gridded radar cross section functionality (thanks to @Metpy )
- 📜 A new blog post from @rcjackson_wx looking at data from #ARMTRACER

[Python ARM Radar TK @Py_ART]

@Metpy @rcjackson_wx If you are interested in the cross section functionality, check out the example in our gallery! https://t.co/dCe5h5E3Bb
