hdobs.plot_hovmoller

hdobs.plot_hovmoller(varname='wspd', radlim=None, window=6, align='center', 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’.

  • 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.
