Example scripts

This page shows some example scripts that interact with the SHARPpy libraries. The tutorials require the matplotlib package, which comes installed by default with the Anaconda Python distribution.

Plotting data from the SARS database

Estimating the uncertainty of convection indices

Plotting a sounding with indices and a hodograph

This folder shows some example datasets that SHARPpy can read in using the code in sharppy.io

14061619.OAX - a file showing observed sounding data in the SPC tabular format (uses spc_decoder.py) ABR.txt - MPAS point forecast sounding at the ABR site (uses pecan_decoder.py) OUN.txt - NCAR Ensemble point forecast sounding (10 members) at OUN site (read in by pecan_decoder.py) oun_rap.buf - a BUFKIT file showing the point forecast sounding for OUN (read in by buf_decoder.py) bufkit_parameters.txt - a file describing the units and headers in the BUFKIT format

Note: the pecan_decoder formats in OUN.txt and ABR.txt are a simplified version of the BUFKIT format.
