ReconDataset.get_dropsondes¶

ReconDataset.get_dropsondes(data=None)[source]¶

Retrieve dropsondes for this storm.

Parameters: data (str, optional) – String representing the path of a pickle file containing dropsonde data, saved via dropsondes.to_pickle(). If none, data is read from NHC.

Notes

This function has no return value, but stores the resulting dropsondes object within this ReconDataset instance. All of its methods can then be accessed as follows, for the following example storm:

from tropycal import tracks

#Read basin dataset
basin = tracks.TrackDataset()

#Read storm object
storm = basin.get_storm(('michael',2018))

#Read dropsondes data
storm.recon.get_dropsondes()

#Plot all dropsonde points
storm.recon.dropsondes.plot_points()
