v1.4.0a5

Trying alpha 5 release

v1.4.0a3

Testing notes:

• This version has issues connecting to the datasources and should not be used if you wish to access the real-time or archived soundings.

SHARPpy v1.4.0 "Andover" Alpha-1

SHARPpy v1.4.0 "Andover" Alpha 1 Release

REMINDER: You must re-run the 'python setup.py install' script for the updates to take effect.

The SHARPpy v1.4.0 "Andover" release

New Features

• User preferences
  • Change units for wind, surface temperature and dewpoint
  • Choice of three color schemes: standard (the usual white-on-black), inverted (black-on-white), and protanopia (white-on-black, but with colorblind-friendly colors)
• Python 3 support
• Hodograph improvements
  • Can now click and drag the storm-motion vectors, updating all the other insets
  • Double click to change which storm motion vector is used for storm-relative calculations
  • New readout on the hodograph, coupled to the readout on the Skew-T
• Improvements for southern-hemisphere users
  • Wind barbs are flipped
  • Left-mover vector is used by default
  • Storm motion vector is chosen if the SPC-formatted sounding file specifies the latitude and longitude of the input sounding (southern-hemisphere uses the left-mover, northern the right-mover).
  • Left-mover vector is used in all other storm-motion dependent functions (e.g., STP insets, SARS).
• New data sources for international and U.S. users
  • Realtime and historical U.S. and international soundings from 1946-now are accessible through the Picker. Soundings include the latitude and longitude.
• Up/down buttons on keyboard can now be used to flip through the ensemble members plotted in the SHARPpy GUI.
• Logging enabled when --debug flag is enabled.
• GUI now displays alert box when questionable data is requested to be plotted. Users now have the option to choose if they wish to still try to plot the data.
• Documentation and sphinx-generated API now available on Github Pages.
• Continuous Integration (TravisCI and Appveyor) now enabled to test changes, pull requests, deploy docs, and deploy binaries to Github.
• New versioning system now consistent with PEP-440 (thanks to versioneer).
• Included more scripting examples.

Bug Fixes

• [numerous]

• Ability to save sounding text to a file.
• New MBURST index added to the sounding window.

BUG FIXES

• Menus now work on Windows and Linux.

• Additional error handling for partial profiles.
• Various model forecast points relocated to their proper places.
• Error handling for opening the program without an Internet connection.
• Removed PySide dependency and unused imports for those using SHARPpy routines in scripts.

SHARPpy v1.2.0, "El Reno"

SHARPpy Beta v1.2.0, "El Reno" Release

REMINDER: You must re-run the "python setup.py install" script for updates to take hold*

SHARPpy v1.2.0, El Reno Release, supports and features a new and improved user interface for selecting and interacting with sounding data sources, in addition to new SARS inset interactivity, and numerous backend changes/improvements. Please note that with these changes, the runsharp and datasources folders must not be moved, and must be run in the parent SHARPpy directory.

UPDATES/FIXES

• New pan/zoom map for selecting sounding locations from observed/model data sources
  • Northern hemispheric map for global data sources (tropics and southern hemisphere maps coming soon)
    
  • County map zooming for CONUS data sources
    
  • Cursor readout for sounding locations includes station ID, city, and state/province or country
  • Map checks the server for currently available points and only displays those that are available
  • Bug fixes on selecting model initialization cycles and supports non-synoptic hour observed data
  • Stations with special characters now work properly
  • Mapping shapefiles have been added to the databases directory
• New XML backend for managing different data sources available to the GUI
  • Allows custom configuration for data urls, initialization offset, model dt, forecast range, and point click locations for configured data sources. No tutorial has been generated for this yet.
• New SARS analogue interactivity
  • SARS hail and supercell analogues can now be displayed alongside soundings by left-clicking on the analogue in the SARS inset window. It can be removed by right-clicking the skew-t window and hitting reset
    
• Improved the UI's look and feel on the Windows platform
  
• Added 0-3 km MLCAPE to the thermodynamics panel
• Fixed the 0-6 km shear and 9-11 km storm-relative wind vectors that are plotted when plotting a boundary motion in the Hodograph window.
• Data decoders have been modified, consolidated, and made more customization-friendly
• Moved the existing Profile object to a BasicProfile object, and made Profile an object that makes no computations upon construction and only stores data
• The "About" menu option (currently only works on OS X) has been updated with a new description and contact info
• Removed accidental SciPy dependency
• An Issue with the PWV climatology crashing on non-US stations has been fixed
• Save image and open user sounding text file functions now default to the user's home directory.
• Microburst Composite (MBURST), Derecho Composite Parameter (DCP), Energy-Helicity Index (EHI), and Severe Weather Threat Index (SWEAT) added to params.py
• Overall stability of the program has been increased.
• Tutorial has been updated to reflect some of the internal changes of the program libraries.
• Custom user sounding text files can now be opened by pressing Ctrl+O on Windows and Linux.

SHARPpy Version 1.0 Beta (AMS 2015 Release)

SHARPpy Version 1.0 Beta (AMS 2015 Release)

Following the SHARPpy presentation in the Python Symposium at the annual American Meteorological Society meeting, SHARPpy is being released to the public in beta status. Most core functionality is present, but it is being released with a few platform specific known bugs that are still being worked on.

This release features core numerical functionality (thermodynamic and kinematic routines) for scripting and data processing, in addition to graphical user interface functionality and interactivity.

Instructions on how to install and run can be found in the readme.
