Welcome to DRpy’s documentation!

Introduction

Note

This project is under active development. Last edit made on 06 Aug 2022 by RJC

DRpy (pronounced: dur-pee) is a Python package which aims to help users download, process and plot GPM-DPR data. This package is made and maintained by me, Randy Chase, so if you have any questions feel free to reach out on twitter (@dopplerchase). Alternatively, if you notice broken parts of the code, go ahead and open an issue on the github repo.

Motivation

GPM-DPR has collected a treasure trove of atmospheric precipitation measurements that can be cumbersome to deal with. As a means to accelerate the use of GPM-DPR data in the community and to give me practice with creating high-quality open-source code, I have created DRpy.
