Version 1.6/20.04 released

2020-04-02 08:56 by Marc Rautenhaus (comments: 0)

We are happy to announce a new Met.3D version 1.6/20.04!

While this version gets the next version number 1.6, we plan to change the version numbers in the future to a simple "YY.MM.number" format to better reflect the continuous work on Met.3D. We use both numbers for now.
A simple batch mode (configurable in the frontend.cfg file) allows to automatically produce time animations.
New utility scripts (see the new util/ directory) have been added that support download of forecast data from the DWD opendata sever.
A "status light" has been added to indicate that the pipeline is processing.
New derived variables have been added, e.g. PV for hybrid sigma pressure grids.
Several bugs have been fixed, including erroneous coastlines and a bug in the raycaster that caused wrong illumination close to borders.
A binary distribution is available for Linux, see the downloads page.
Some bugfixes, see the issue tracker.
