TrackDataset.plot_TCtors_rotated

TrackDataset.plot_TCtors_rotated(storms, mag_thresh=0, return_df=False, save_path=None)[source]

Plot tracks of tornadoes relative to the storm motion vector of the tropical cyclone.

Parameters

  • storms (list or str) – Storm(s) for which to plot motion-relative tornado data for. Can be either a list of storm IDs/tuples for which to create a composite of, or a string “all” for all storms containing tornado data.

  • mag_thresh (int) – Minimum threshold for tornado rating.

  • return_df (bool) – Whether to return the pandas DataFrame containing the composite tornado data. Default is False.

  • save_path (str) – Relative or full path of directory to save the image in. If none, image will not be saved.

Returns

ax or dict – By default, the plot axes is returned. If “return_df” is set to True, returns a dict containing both the data and the axes plot

Notes

The motion vector is oriented upwards (in the +y direction).
