iconspy

ICON Sections in PYthon

iconspy is a python package for constructing sections on the ICON model’s native grid. It offers the ability to create sections that approximate great circles, follow lines of constant latitude or longitude, and follow contours of an arbitrary field.

The functionality builds upon that provided by the pyicon package; however, iconspy offers some extra functionality — in particular the ability to join together multiple sections and construct sections which follow contours.

Issues and feature requests

The code contained in this package is a by-product from a project I was working on. I thought it might be useful for others so have packaged it up and added some documentation. If you encounter any problems with the code please raise an issue on github. If you have feature requests feel free to reach out there also.
