The Skew-T is a fundamental plot for understanding the state of the atmosphere. This week we'll learn how to build a basic Skew-t using MetPy and continue to build on this plot for the next several weeks.

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 getupperair_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!

This week, we'll talk about some handy functions in MetPy that let you decorate your plots with the MetPy or Unidata logos. We'll also add time of creation timestamps to help you keep track of what's what in that pile of PNG files in your manuscript folder!

Learn how to properly handle temperature in your calculations with this week's MetPy Monday!
