Hello, and thanks for reaching out! MetPy is not currently relied upon in either Unidata or NWS AWIPS. We know of people using it for their own products or applications, and some have expressed interest about including MetPy functionality in future AWIPS releases. We also hear of people using it individually or for in-office support/awareness in some WFOs (MetPy Mondays also seems pretty popular in those parts!) Either way, we are not concretely aware of how widespread MetPy's usage may be operationally. Thanks for asking! All the best, Drew > Is Metpy used in AWIPS? Is is used as part of another system in operations? > Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: NYL-375213 Department: Support Python Priority: Low Status: Closed =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
