ReconDataset.get_hdobs¶

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

Retrieve High Density Observations (HDOBs) for this storm.

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

Notes

This function has no return value, but stores the resulting HDOBs 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 hdobs data
storm.recon.get_hdobs()

#Plot all HDOB points
storm.recon.hdobs.plot_points()
