Version 0.5.0 (2017/04/03)

Highlights

  • API BREAK: lcl() now returns both the pressure and temperature at the lifted condensation level, rather than just pressure. Not only does this simplify the use of lcl, but comes at no additional computation cost.
  • Python 3.3 support replaced with support for Python 3.6 (though no related code changes)
  • Galleries of symbols and color tables within the documentation
  • SkewT improvements
    • Better handling of missing data
    • Default limits
    • Dedicated plotting routines for shading CAPE/CIN
    • Better handling of unit-ed arrays
  • Added meteogram and 4 panel plot examples
  • Wind speed and direction available directly from upper air data
  • Several fixes for lcl() and lfc()
  • Additional calculations:
    • virtual_temperature
    • virtual_potential_temperature
    • density
    • equilibrium layer (el)
    • relative_humidity_wet_psychrometric
    • psychrometric_vapor_pressure_wet
  • GINIFile now has an img_extent attribute to simplify plotting
  • Added reduce_point_density to remove overlapping points from point data plots
  • A few fixes for StationPlot
