Change log since the previous release:

  • Bug fixes.
  • Performance and syntax improvements.
  • Improve documentation to several modules and methods.
  • Add the Variational Echo Tracking (VET) method from MAPLE to the motion module.
  • Replace the config module with a JSON pystepsrc configuration file.
  • More efficient computation of the FFT in the cascade decomposition and noise generation by using the real FFT instead of the complex FFT, i.e. rfft2/irfft2 instead of fft2/ifft2.
  • More sensible naming of several main modules: optflow -> motion, advection -> extrapolation and postproc -> postprocessing.
  • New utility methods to clip the domain by geographical coordinates.
  • New data transformation methods: normal quantile, square-root and logarithmic transformations.
  • New importer for MeteoSwiss' metranet data format.
  • New "shift and scale" post-processing method.
  • Implement the S-PROG method with probability matching.
  • New intensity-scale verification method.
  • New visualization methods: cartopy backend, exceedance probabilities and plotting motion fields on a map.
  • Support for Swiss projection when using cartopy.
  • New interface module for different FFT methods and allow the user to choose the method.
  • Fix incorrect separation into components when using the bps method for adding perturbations to the advection field.
  • Two different methods for adjusting the temporal autocorrelation coefficients in order to guarantee stationarity of the resulting AR(2) models.
  • Modify the STEPS method to have the same number of positional arguments as the other methods in the nowcasts module and reorganize the keyword arguments.
  • Move the deterministic S-PROG mask computation outside the stochastic part of the STEPS method to avoid repeated computations.
