Class

class windyWeather()

• org (string): 'EC' or 'GFS' (one of the world weather models)
• lon (float): longitude of the location
• lat (float): latitude of the location
• JSON (json): the json type of the data returned by windy.com
• verticalInfo (3D array): proceesed data from JSON

Functions

updateInfo(self, inputOrg, inputLon, inputLat)

This function is used to update the point's information. Calling this function will automatically update JSON and verticalInfo.

• inputOrg (string): 'EC' or 'GFS' (one of the world weather models)
• inputLon (float): longitude of the location
• inputLat (float): latitude of the location

updateWeatherData()

This function will update the weather information of picked point.

return type:

• (json) the raw json file from windy.com

def getVerticalWeather(self)

This function will return a 3D array with all the data processed return type:

• (array) 3D array([element, time, pressure(Geoheight)]) after the analysis from the json data from windy.com

[time, Pressure(Geoheight), Temperature, Humidity, windUcomonent, windVcomponent]

• every component is a 2D array, if you want to achieve only one time point, for example, the initial value of Temperature, you can use Temperature[0]
• every 1D array in the previous 2D array is element vs. Pressure(Geoheight)

getCertainTimeVerticalWeather(self, timePoint)

This function will return the detailed vertical weather in a certain time point.

• timePoint (int): (you can use getNumberOfData(self, timeStr) function to find index)the Index of the time you want to get the detailed weather information

return type:

• (array): [time, [Pressure], [Temperature], [Humidity], [windUcomonent], [windVcomponent]]

getNumberOfData(self, timeStr)

This function will return the index of the time in the time points array

• timeStr (string): the time you want to find, with format(DDHH).

return type:

• time point(int): (int)

getInfo(self)

This function will return the basic information of a picked points

return type:

• array: [organization, longitude of point, latitude of point, reference time]

def getJSON(self):
