Version 1.2.1 (2021-10-04)#

v1.2.1: Test repo output updates (remove recentering, updated matplotlib/cartopy), and code refactor/simplification

Breaking Interface Changes#

  • remove_duplicates function now takes the explicit filename_format string, and returns the remove_duplicates

    method within the <filename_format> module.

  • Separated sar_netcdf reader from sfc_winds_netcdf.py

    • Eventually plan to separate all sfc_winds readers - they should all be independent modules.

Breaking Test Repo Updates#

  • Updated cartopy to 0.20.0 and matplotlib to v3.4.3

    • test repo outputs incompatible with matplotlib < 3.4.0 and cartopy < 0.19.0

    • Older versions have figures that are very slightly shifted from later versions

    • Exclusively a qualitative difference, but it does cause the test comparisons to fail

  • No longer recentering all TC outputs by default

    • General outputs are not recentered as of 1.2.1 - test recentering separately from other functionality

Refactor#

  • Moved metoctiff plugin to a separate installable repository

  • Moved recenter_tc plugin to a separate installable repository

Major New Functionality#

  • Initial center radius coverage checks, for Tropical Cyclone applications

  • Initial SAR Normalized Radar Cross Section (NRCS) product implementation

Improvements#

  • Standardized and formalized the README, setup script, and test script format for all plugin repos

  • Removed requirement to link test scripts from plugin repos into the main geoips test directory

Bug fixes#

  • Added “METADATA” key in sfc_winds_netcdf.py return dictinoary
