Site sat-views#
The mapmetnet.site module is designed to generate so-called “sat-view” diagrams for
a given site, either from its latitude and longitude, or directly using a
WIGOS ID. The diagrams include (as an
option) a series of reference circles related to the standard WMO site classification scheme for
temperature measurements (see WMO-No.8, Vol. I, Chap. 1, Annex 1.D for details).
# Option 1: using a WIGOS ID
from mapmetnet.site import WigosSite
mysite = WigosSite('0-20000-0-06610')
# Option 2: using latitude and longitude
#from mapmetnet.site import Site
#mysite = Site(lat=+46.811578, lon=+6.942472, name='My secret site')
# Either way, trigger the diagram using:
mysite.site_view(show_ref_circles=True, save_fn=None, show=True)
