The MeteoSwiss version of the Python ARM Radar Toolkit (Py-ART)

This is the MeteoSwiss version of the Python ARM Radar Toolkit, Py-ART. This version contains features developed at MeteoSwiss that have not yet been pulled into the ARM-DOE Py-ART. MeteoSwiss contributes to the ARM-DOE Py-ART on a regular basis.

Users of Pyrad that want to exploit its full functionality should preferably use this version instead of the ARM-DOE one. The MeteoSwiss Py-ART is a submodule of the Pyrad superproject.

Installation

To install the MeteoSwiss Py-ART as part of the Pyrad superproject have a look at the Pyrad user manual(pdf)

We welcome contributions. The process to contribute by partners external to MeteoSwiss is described in the Pyrad user manual. However consider contributing directly to the ARM-DOE Py-ART to serve a broader community.

The software is still in a development stage. Please let us know if you would like to test it.
