Release 0.10.0#

We are happy to announce the release of \(\omega radlib\) 0.10.0.

Highlights#

Highlight of this release is the implementation of matching of GPM/TRMM-platforms with ground radar observations in 3D. A step-by-step guide is available as jupyter notebook. Also the \(\omega radlib\) raster handling has been improved considerably with PR#137.

Further changes in \(\omega radlib\) 0.10.0#

There are also a couple of community enhancements and other improvements and fixes.

  • wradlib.io.read_RADOLAN_composite accept file handles PR#114,

  • wradlib.io.read_Rainbow accept file handles PR#140.

Community Contribution by franklinvv:

  • wradlib.georef.get_radolan_grid was enhanced to read extended-RADOLAN-grid PR#119.

Improvements:

  • Merged the curvelinear grid plotting functions into the normal plotting functions. Added contour and filled contour plotting capabilities.

  • Generic netcdf reader can read groups now.

  • Added wradlib.qual.cum_beam_block_frac to compute cumulative beam blockage.

  • Added Earth Curvature Display to beam blockage notebook

  • Enhance wradlib.georef.read_gdal_values to read multiband data.

Fixes:

  • The build process on Travis-CI was significantly improved by running test-suites in dedicated threads/subprocesses.

  • We also fixed some documentation inconsistencies.

  • Several bugs were fixed in wradlib.qual.pulse_volume, wradlib.georef.transform_geometry, wradlib.util.find_bbox_indices and wradlib.ipol.cart2irregular_spline.

  • Several other minor fixes.
