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 ! ametsoc.org/index.cfm/ams/ed…
Registration has opened for the "Open Science in the Rockies: Working With ARM Data from the Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory" short course at AMS (Jan 8). We will focus on the #ARMSAIL field campaign data! Here is a sample plot :) ametsoc.org/index.cfm/ams/ed…

A close-up! Made using @Py_ART! I have some minor adjustments to make, but its a start!
Very cool! Literally! Thanks to @lauratomkinsWX for contributing to #openscience!
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: ow.ly/plxs50LGqV5
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!
ALT colorblind friendly maps now available in Py-ART
ALT Convective stratiform classification from a hurricane
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 github.com/ARM-DOE/pyart/iss…
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!
We are working on a new package, xradar, which brings this new radar radar standard + @xarray_dev together! Check out our documentation! docs.openradarscience.org/pr…
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!
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! cookbooks.projectpythia.org/…
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! cookbooks.projectpythia.org/…
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 ⛰️ cookbooks.projectpythia.org/…

🛰️ 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 zenodo.org/record/7259561
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. arm-doe.github.io/pyart/blog…
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

Check out my latest publication! We developed a new visualization method to "mute" mixed precipitation regions that are easily misinterpreted as heavy snow in radar data. amt.copernicus.org/articles/…
