GEMPAK Course

[dopplershift]

This tracks the things we need in order to replace teaching GEMPAK.

• Surface plotting - single value and station model (with contour overlay)
• Upper air obs -- station model plot (with contour overlay)
• Gridded data
  • Jupyter widget?
• Calculation
  • Advection (temperature and vorticity)
  • Thickness
  • Vorticity
  • Absolute vorticity
• Satellite data
• Radar data? (pyart)
• SkewT
• Accessing IAState gempak archive

Ease of use issues:

• Variable grid spacing
• Temperature conversion
• Field auto calculation
• Consistent county/state shapefiles
