hdobs.plot_time_series(varname=('p_sfc', 'wspd'), mission=None, time=None, realtime=False, **kwargs)

Plots a time series of one or two variables on an axis.

Parameters

• varname (str or tuple) –

  If one variable to plot, varname is a string of the variable name. If two variables to plot, varname is a tuple of the left and right variable names, respectively. Available varnames are:

  • p_sfc - Mean Sea Level Pressure (hPa)

  • temp - Flight Level Temperature (C)

  • dwpt - Flight Level Dewpoint (C)

  • wspd - Flight Level Wind (kt)

  • sfmr - Surface Wind (kt)

  • pkwnd - Peak Wind Gust (kt)

  • rain - Rain Rate (mm/hr)

  • plane_z - Geopotential Height (m)

  • plane_p - Pressure (hPa)

• mission (int) – Mission number to plot. If None, all missions for this storm are plotted.

• time (tuple) – Tuple of start and end times (datetime.datetime) to plot. If None, all times available are plotted.

• realtime (bool) – If True, the most recent 2 hours of the mission will plot, overriding the time argument. Default is False.

Other Parameters

• left_prop (dict) – Dictionary of properties for the left line. Scroll down for more information.

• right_prop (dict) – Dictionary of properties for the right line. Scroll down for more information.
