MetPy 0.12.0 Released

MetPy 0.12.0 has been released:

  • Added support for Python 3.8, dropped support for Python 2.7
  • precipitable_water now issues a FutureWarning due to an impending change to its function signature in 1.0--this will change the signature to precipitable_water(pressure, dewpt, *, bottom=None, top=None) for better consistency with the rest of the library. To avoid this warning, import the function with from metpy.future import precipitable_water
  • storm_relative_helicity now issues a FutureWarning due to an impending change to its function signature in 1.0--this will change the signature to storm_relative_helicity(heights, u, v, depth, *, bottom, storm_u, storm_v) for better consistency with the rest of the library. To avoid this warning, import the function with from metpy.future import storm_relative_helicity
  • dewpoint_rh has been deprecated in favor of dewpoint_from_relative_humidity, and will be removed in 1.0
  • Removed previously deprecated functions get_wind_components, get_wind_dir, get_wind_speed, interp, interpolate_nans, and log_interp as well as the metpy.gridding sub-package.
  • Added parser for METAR-formatted reports
  • Update NEXRAD Level2File to handle future format changes
  • Added calculation mixed_layer_cape_cin
  • geopotential <-> height calculations modified to use standard gravity
  • Added declarative interface for station plots
  • Added arrows to go with barbs on station plots
  • Compatibility fixes for future versions of Pint
  • Enhancements to xarray coordinate identification
  • Fixed average spacing calculation in interpolation
  • Added 'wide' and 'most_cape' options for LFC/EL
  • Added wx_code_to_numeric for converting text weather codes (e.g. '+SNRA') to corresponding WMO code.
