MSEplots-pkg 2.5.0

A package for static energy plots based on MetPy

MSEplots project

pip install MSEplots-pkg

A Python package built for the moist static energy (MSE) analysis of sounding data/ model output which provides required vertical profiles of thermodynamic parameters.

from MSEplots import plots as mpt
:
mpt.msed_plots(pressure,Temp,q,altitude,ent_rate=np.arange(0,2,0.05),entrain=True)

1. Required paramters: Air temperature, Mixing ratio, Pressure, Altitude [optional]. NOT specifically for sounding data!
2. Functions are provided for deriving thermodynamic variables eg. potential tmeperature and static energy. All calculations included depend on the metpy.calc.thermo module. (https://unidata.github.io/MetPy/latest/_modules/metpy/calc/thermo.html)
3. Plotting options: thermo.plots, theta.plots, mesd_plots and entropy_plots
