MetPy Meteograms

[wreed1989]

Is it possible to to create a meteogram similar to that in the image below? I'm a fan of the larger 'feature plot' that shows a time-height set of data and I'd like to be able to put something together to customize the meteogram with the variables I care most about for my location here in Omaha.

I've dabbled with the example notebook provided on the Unidata Example Gallery site but I haven't quite mastered how to pull in model data to be displayed in a meteogram format.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

You are looking for a dashboard IMHO. The first of the multiple plots within the "dashboard" is a vertical cross section. The rest are just time series plots as far as I can tell. Then you need to collate them together as a dashboard. Here is a starting tutorial - https://plotly.com/examples/dashboards/

Thanks for attaching those links! I will check both of those out and see what I can do!

That plot looks like it should be do-able, though by no means trivial, with a combination of matplotlib and MetPy. I'd start by looking at our existing Meteogram example, though your plot above is far more sophisticated. (I'll note we've wanted to add some more built-in capabilities for plotting meteograms to MetPy for awhile #208)

I'm certainly not looking to replicate this to a T but the time height series and/or cross section that can be animated is something I'm trying to re-create. If I end up making any good progress, I'll be happy to share the script.
