[python #RWN-797481]: Surface charts (MetPy)

Hello! Thanks for reaching out.

We currently don't have any examples of creating a surface chart like this 
using only our tools, but I can point you in the direction of some examples 
that might help you create one like this on your own.

If you are comfortable downloading and running Jupyter Notebooks, here's a 
demonstration of one way to plot H and L pressure/height symbols on a map with 
contours: 
https://github.com/Unidata/python-training/blob/master/pages/gallery/HILO_Symbol_Plot.ipynb

On the MetPy documentation pages, we also feature some examples of plotting 
surface station plots via Matplotlib,

  https://unidata.github.io/MetPy/latest/examples/plots/Station_Plot.html

and with our simplified plotting interface

  https://unidata.github.io/MetPy/latest/examples/plots/surface_declarative.html

You can add text annotations to a plot in Matplotlib with text() and annotate():

  
https://matplotlib.org/stable/tutorials/text/annotations.html#sphx-glr-tutorials-text-annotations-py

The final pieces of making such a plot might come down to your own needs and 
finding the right tools and pathways to calculate and visualize the many 
different pieces on this chart. As you go through this, if there's any way we 
can help don't hesitate to reach back out, but I hope this points you in some 
helpful directions for now. Thanks again for reaching out!


All the best,

Drew
