- Release 1.3.0
- Fixed FutureWarning issue with destag routine (thank you honnorat!)
- Fixed computational problems with updraft_helicity, and values are no longer
scaled by 1000.
- Removed version constraints for wrapt and setuptools.
- Fixed xarray being a hard dependency.
- Fixed unit issues with vinterp when pressure values are extracted below
ground. Also added support for height fields in km and pressure fields in
hPa. The documentation has been improved.
- Fixed the smooth2d routine so that it actually works. It never worked
correctly before (nor did it work in NCL). Users can now specify the
center weight of the kernel and the documentation has been updated to
describe how it works.
- Fixed the storm relative helicity algorithm so that it works in the southern
hemisphere. The raw algorithm now requires latitude input if used
in the southern hemisphere, otherwise the northern hemisphere is assumed.
- Fixed an issue with the latest version of cartopy 0.17 (thanks honnorat!)
- Fixed an issue where invalid keyword arguments weren't throwing errors when
extracting standard WRF variables.
- Fixed minor issues related to moving nests when using line interpolation and
vertical cross sections. It is still an error to request all times when
using lat/lon coordinates with a moving nest, but otherwise knows how to
run when all times are requested. This never really worked quite right.
- Removed the pyf file from setup.py since it is generated via the build
system.
- Added an autolevels parameter for the vertical cross section so that users
can specify the number of vertical levels to use if they don't want to
specify them manually.
- The interplevel routine has been improved. Users can now specify a single
level, multiple levels, or a 2D array (e.g. PBLH) to interpolate to.
Performance has been improved when interpolating a multiple product
field like wspd_wdir.
- Products that produce multiple outputs can now have the outputs requested
individually. See :ref:`subdiagnostic-table` for a list of what is available.
- Much of this version of wrf-python has been back ported to NCL in the
upcoming 6.6.0 release. The diagnostics should produce the same results
in both packages.
- Now released under the Apache 2.0 license.
