Now that we've got all of the data plotted in our Skew-T diagram, we might want to know the expected path for a parcel. This week we'll calculate parcel paths and plot them on our Skew-T to round out a publication ready diagram.
MetPy Mondays #19 - Skew-T Parcel Path
20 November 2017
Now that we've got all of the data plotted in our Skew-T diagram, we might want to know the expected path for a parcel. This week we'll calculate parcel paths and plot them on our Skew-T to round out a publication ready diagram.
MetPy Mondays #18 - Skew-T Fiducial Lines
13 November 2017
Continuing our Skew-T series, this week we'll learn how to add fiducial lines to our Skew-T plot. Theses lines, such as adiabatic paths and mixing ratios, give us a visual reference to aid interpreting the plot and they can be added with just a few lines of code using MetPy!
MetPy Mondays #17 - Resampling Wind Barbs
06 November 2017
Last week we were able to plot a basic Skew-T, but the wind barbs suffered from over-crowding in some parts of the plot. This week we'll look at a few strategies to deal with this problem including downsampling and nearest-neighbor resampling.

MetPy Mondays #15 - Upper air data with Siphon
16 October 2017
On this week's MetPy Monday, we're talking about the Siphon package. Why? As several users have noticed, the get_upper_air_data function is deprecated as of MetPy 0.6 and will be removed in MetPy 0.8. That functionality has been moved to our remote data access library (siphon) with an improved API. Learn how to use siphon in this week's video!
