The Unidata Program Center's three summer student interns — Hassanpreet Dhaliwal from Texas Tech University, Rhoen Fiutak from the Colorado School of Mines, and Nathaniel Martinez from the University of Chicago — have come to the end of their summer appointments. Following two years of COVID-19 travel restrictions, Hassanpreet, Rhoen, and Nathaniel were able to join us at the Unidata Program Center in Boulder. After a summer of dedicated work they presented the results of their projects to the UPC staff on July 27, 2022. You can find videos of their presentations to the UPC staff on the Unidata Seminar Series page.
The focus of my summer internship was working on MetPy, both adding new functionality and updating existing documentation to reflect recent updates to MetPy. In particular, I focused on expanding current declarative syntax functionality to Matplotlib's pcolormesh via the RasterPlot class. Declarative syntax enables quick and easy plotting of data, particularly for users new to Python or MetPy.
