Yr-meteogram

This package allows testing of different strategies for creating deterministic forecasts from an ensemble. The forecasts are visualized using an imitation of the short-range meteogram found on https://www.yr.no.

Clone the repository into an appropriate folder:

git clone https://github.com/metno/yrmeteo.git
cd yrmeteo

Load the Yr weather-symbols, but running:

git submodule init
git submodule update

Install the required pacakges:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install netcdf-bin libnetcdf-dev libhdf5-serial-dev
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-pip
sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-scipy python-matplotlib

Download the source code, then install yrmeteo by executing the following inside the extracted folder:

sudo pip install -e .
