0.6.1

Version 0.6.1 (2017/11/04)

API Change

• Small API change to change storm_relative_helicity to take heights, as well as an argument for depth. This fixes a bug in the original design of the function where the default bottom was 0, which is below the first level of most soundings.

Highlights

• Fix bugs in corner cases of get_layer, precipitable_water, el, and bulk_shear
• Fix use of units with plot_colormapped on Hodograph
• Fix lack of projection of wind barbs in StationPlot when using CartoPy
• Enable interpolation by default when calling shade_cape and friends for SkewT
• Fixed up definitions of CAPE and CIN to be net integrals above and below the LFC, respectively
• Add MetPy logo to examples
