Pysteps plugin for calculating the precipitation type of hydrometeors.
Note: The installed package is called "pysteps-diagnostic-prtype" (with dashes), and so is the git repository.
To handle your installed python package, use the package name (e.g., pip uninstall pysteps-diagnostic-prtype)
The python module is called "pysteps_diagnostic_prtype" (with underscores, Python import friendly). To use your installed package, you'd run import pysteps_diagnostic_prtype.

This is a plugin designed for implementation alongside the pySTEPS package. This plugin contains functions which will allow for the calculation of the precipitation type of the hydrometeors present in a pySTEPS nowcast. In order to use this functionality, the user must provide a pySTEPS nowcast as well as arrays featuring the snowfall level, air temperature, and surface temperature data of the region covered by the nowcast. A digital elevation model of the region and the metadata of the data will also be required. The plugin is weather model independent and, as such, the user will have to utilize their own data importer to extract the required information from their weather model. An example data importer is provided in the docs folder which can be used to extract the required data from INCA grib files.
This plugin can be installed using:
git clone git@github.com:FelixE91/pysteps-diagnostic-prtype.gitand then install with
pip install pysteps-diagnostic-prtype/- This package was created with Cookiecutter and the pysteps/cookiecutter-pysteps-plugin project template.
- It is a copy of original_prtype precipitation type plugin that used an older version of the cookiecutter-pypackage and was created by @JoeyCasey87
it is encouraged to leave the following credits to acknowledge Audrey Greenfeld's work.
- The pysteps/cookiecutter-pysteps-plugin template was adapted from the cookiecutter-pypackage
template.
