pyPI v1.3 (initial package release)

pyPI version 1.3 is the initial package release for pyPI:

• Adds constants.py and utilities.py for consistency in computations. This creates slight differences between pyPI and the BE02 algorithm output, as an epsilon term is now used correctly rather than estimated (PI difference between the two following this change is 0.22 m/s, and arises from changes in the OTL)
• permits packaging through the python package indexer (adding /pyPI/ directory, init, setup.py)
• changes the package name on the indexer to "tcpypi" (installation with > pip install tcpypi)
• reorganizes the directory and file structure
• Changes over from "Documentation" to an updated "User's Guide"
• fixes a few documentation errors
• updates the clock. Average runs are now ~13.7 seconds per 100k profiles

Questions or comments should be directed to the developer, [email protected]

pyPI, now including Documentation PDF

This release now includes a full documentation PDF detailing the pyPI project, code examples, and the mathematical and computational derivation of potential intensity.

pyPI Concurrent TCMAX Release

This release makes a number of changes to the way missing values are handled in pyPI, updating the notebooks, pi.py, and README accordingly.

Concurrently, it marks the same version of pi.py that was uploaded by Kerry Emanuel onto his website at ftp://texmex.mit.edu/pub/emanuel/TCMAX.

At time of release, the full documentation is still under development.

pyPI Initial Release

The first full release of pyPI, including the potential intensity calculations validated against Kerry Emanuel's MATLAB script pcmin.m.
