What's new in 0.3.1

New datasets

MeteoSwiss recently published their spatial climate analyses as open data. The
ground-based (surface_derived_grid) and satellite-based (satellite_derived_grid)
grids were already integrated in foehn — this release adds the remaining two:

  • radar_derived_grid (C5) — radar-derived hail climate grids: hail-day counts (≥2 cm, ≥4 cm) and MESHS/LEHA return-period maps (2002 onward, summer half-year).
  • climate_normals_grid (C7) — unified gridded climate normals: temperature, precipitation, and sunshine for 1961–1990 and 1991–2020, plus radiation and cloud averages for 2004–2020 (monthly and yearly).

Both are NetCDF and work with the existing open_dataset() / to_zarr() grid API:

import foehn

foehn.open_dataset("climate_normals_grid", match="tnormy9120")  # yearly temp normal 1991–2020
foehn.open_dataset("radar_derived_grid", match="haildaysy")     # yearly hail days

Docs

  • README now surfaces gridded data (xarray/Zarr) outputs alongside the tabular ones.
  • Collection and grids docs updated for the new datasets.

The existing climate_normals_* collections are unchanged and continue to work.
