flyingfish 0.0.3

An open source library for common hydrological and meteorological issues

An open source library for some common hydrological and meteorological issues.

Status

The motivation for implementing this library grows out of my personal and academic projects where I face some typical problems repeatedly. The implementation of this library started in November 2022 and is currently in progress. New functionalities are updated regularly. The library will be available at PyPI in future.
