Greetings! Apologies for the delayed response. It looks like this notebook needs some updates due to changes in our THREDDS data server. The cell causing you problems should really look like: from metpy.units import units import numpy as np # get netCDF variables pressure = point_data.variables["altitude"] temp = point_data.variables["Temperature_isobaric"] u_cmp = point_data.variables["u-component_of_wind_isobaric"] v_cmp = point_data.variables["v-component_of_wind_isobaric"] relh = point_data.variables["Relative_humidity_isobaric"] # download data and assign the units based on the variables metadata # Need to put units on the left to assure things work properly with masked arrays p = units(pressure.units) * pressure[:].squeeze() T = units(temp.units) * temp[:].squeeze() u = units(u_cmp.units) * u_cmp[:].squeeze() v = units(v_cmp.units) * v_cmp[:].squeeze() relh = units('percent') * relh[:].squeeze() Once I make that change, the cell runs without error. I've opened an issue to remind us to update that example: https://github.com/Unidata/python-training/issues/135 Thanks for reporting! Cheers!
