The August 2021 release of our software provides many new features, improvements and fixes!
ecCodes, the heart of GRIB and BUFR handling, brings several features and bug fixes in version 2.23.0.
Note that the high-level Python interface (in eccodes/high_level/*) was always experimental and will be removed in the next release.
Please use cfgrib and pdbufr instead.
Also note that ecCodes' Python 2 interface is no longer being developed. Users are strongly advised to migrate to Python 3.
Magics, ECMWF's plotting library, brings more improvements in version 4.9.0 including :
Metview 5.13.0 brings a mix of new features, fixes and improvements including:
shear_deformation()
,stretch_deformation()
,virtual_temperature()
,specific_humidity_from_dewpoint()
,pressure_derivative()
mask()
and rmask()
functions to make it easier to use masked data in computations
Metview's masking functions now have two different ways to mask GRIB data
Metview's new deformation functions have a gallery example on readthedocs
Metview's Python interface version 1.8.0 brings new features, including:
select()
, offers different filtering options from read()
and is fastera = mv.Fieldset(path=["/path1/to/data1.grib", "relpath/data2.grib"])
a = mv.Fieldset(path="data/*.grib")
Metview's new Python functions help explore GRIB data in interactive Python environments such as Jupyter
Metview is built at ECMWF with all the versions of our libraries listed in the table below, and all are included in the Metview Bundle.
The software versions of this release are available on all ECMWF computer systems as "new" versions. Versions on conda should be available in the coming days. If you encounter any issues please feel free to send feedback to Software.Support@ecmwf.int.
