Members:

  • Marina Schmidt - Leader, SuperDARN Canada
  • Carley Martin - SuperDARN Canada
  • Shibaji Chakraborty - VT SuperDARN
  • Xueling Shi - VT SuperDARN
  • Dan Billett - SuperDARN Canada

Agenda

Why did pyDARNio and pyDARN separate?

We did this because other groups including engineers of the Borealis project wanted to use more of the reading and writing features. To make it easier for maintaining the IO code separate

How to Start Developing

Carley went over how to start developing by creating a new feature issue and then start to develop the code. Documented in here:

Xueling asked if there is an approval process for scope. Marina and Carley responded people will comment on the issue when it is created to discuss if there is a scope issue.

Action Items

  • Xueling Shi will make some issues on some over her wave plotting code
  • Shibaji will create an issue for median filter

Scope for pyDARNio vs. pyDARN

We discussed that pyDARNio does more reading and writing type operations. Format changes from dmap to csv are within pyDARNio scope.

Action Items

  • Xueling Shi will make an issue there as well to make a format converter for dmap
  • Marina will investigate if having the rbpos code in pyDARN or pyDARNio (to avoid cyclic dependencies) as pyDARN uses this code for plot_fov and pyDARNio might use it for user information on range gates. Will be a discussion item next meeting on this.

Next Releases

Marina described the main focus for pyDARN 3.0

  • Cartopy include
  • convection maps
  • geo graphic coordinates in fan, grid, and convection maps
  • Day night terminator

Patch or minor release can happen if cartopy implementation takes long.
2.1.1 patch release will happen with the 2 bug fixes Carley has found. Maybe a minor release with new plotting features.

Issue on Time-Start

Dan - The first plot in the issue doesn't seem like it is rounding correctly.

  1. Default practice - you can force it to start at a time if you want it to
  2. If there is supposed to be actual

Marina and Dan agree there seems to be an actual bug in this code.

Carley will take this issue on

Issue on miss coloring of ground scatter

Carley showed the issue and discussed it. Still new but Marina decided to take it on.
