hdobs.plot_hovmoller¶
- hdobs.plot_hovmoller(varname='wspd', radlim=None, window=6, align='center', missing_window=24, ax=None, **kwargs)[source]¶
Creates a hovmoller plot of azimuthally-averaged recon data.
- Parameters
varname (str) –
Variable to average and plot. Available variable names are:
”sfmr” = SFMR surface wind
”wspd” = 30-second flight level wind (default)
”pkwnd” = 10-second flight level wind
”p_sfc” = extrapolated surface pressure
radlim (int, optional) – Radius from storm center, in kilometers, to plot in hovmoller. Default is 200 km.
window (int, optional) – Window of hours to interpolate between observations. Default is 6 hours.
align (str, optional) – Alignment of window. Default is ‘center’.
missing_window (int, optional) – Minimum window of hours to remove if data is missing. Default is 24 hours.
ax (axes, optional) – Instance of axes to plot on. If none, one will be generated. Default is none.
- Other Parameters
prop (dict) – Customization properties for recon plot. Please refer to plot_hovmoller for available options.
track_dict (dict, optional) – Storm track dictionary. If None (default), internal storm center track is used.
- Returns
ax – Axes instance containing the plot.
Notes
The special colormap category_recon can be used in the prop dict (
prop={'cmap':'category_recon'}
). This uses the standard SSHWS colormap, but with a new color for wind between 50 and 64 knots.
