[python #GAF-878612]: Problem in the metpy bulk shear calculation function

Greetings!

Apologies for the delayed response, this was a string issue to track down. In 
the end, it's a weird bug involving the 32-bit floating point values coming out 
of the netCDF file. This will be fixed in the impending MetPy 1.0 release. In 
the meanwhile, you can work around the problem by tweaking your calls to e.g. 
bulk_shear to pass in 64-bit floating point values:

    mpcalc.bulk_shear(s_p.astype(np.float64), s_u, s_v, depth=1000 * 
units.meter)

Hope this helps,

Ryan
