Python way of plotting a Tephigram and Hodograph

Time:10-26

I am looking to plot a Tephigram using Python and so far I have noticed that there are no real ways of doing so and I do not have the meteorological training to start from a SkewT plot and customize it to a Tephigram. I am currently using enter image description here

CodePudding user response:

To be clear, there's no amount of customization you can do to a Skew-T to produce a Tephigram. Skew-T log-P diagrams plot pressure vs. temperature, with pressure on a logarithmic scale on the vertical, temperature rotated (nominally 45 degrees). Tephigrams fundamentally plot entropy (potential temperature) vs. temperature, with those two axes rotated 45 degrees.

The tephigram_python library you mentioned would have been what I linked you to, so I'm curious what its deficiencies are.
