Issue with new plot_util.plot_polar_contour()

[jpolton]

Hi Jeff, I've just had a look at what's been merged into develop. It looks like there have bene some changes to plot_util.plot_polar_contour() which mean it now doesn't work with the gc31_arctic_example_plot.py script. This is what I had working once I'd taken the pyproj dependency out.

def plot_polar_contour(lon, lat, var, ax_in, **kwargs):

    crs_ps = ccrs.CRS("epsg:3413")  # North pole projection
    crs_wgs84 = ccrs.CRS("epsg:4326")
    # NSIDC grid
    x_grid, y_grid = np.meshgrid(np.linspace(-3850, 3750, 304) * 1000, np.linspace(-5350, 5850, 448) * 1000)
    grid = crs_wgs84.transform_points(crs_ps, x_grid, y_grid)
    lon_grid = grid[:, :, 0]
    lat_grid = grid[:, :, 1]
    points = np.vstack((lon.flatten(), lat.flatten())).T
    grid_var = si.griddata(points, var.flatten(), (lon_grid, lat_grid), method="linear")
    cs_out = ax_in.contour(x_grid, y_grid, grid_var, transform=ccrs.epsg(3413), **kwargs)
    return cs_out

Or, to get it working in the current format with pyproj you'll need to change two lines to:

transformer = pyproj.Transformer.from_crs("epsg:3413", "epsg:4326", always_xy=True)
cs_out = ax_in.contour(x_grid, y_grid, grid_var, transform=ccrs.epsg(3413), **kwargs)

Thanks, Ben

Thanks @b-barton. I've made this an Issue so we get it sorted. I haven't got head space to think about this at the moment but our plan is to merge develop into Master 2 weeks today (Dec7), so we will get it sorted by then. Odd that this got into develop without being spotted. Hmmm

Hi, Great. Perhaps there was a merge conflict with the version before I removed the pyproj dependency that was merged the wrong way.

Thanks, Ben

I've made a new branch with the version of the code without pyproj: 0653/merge_plot_polar_contour

[b-barton]

I've taken the develop branch and changed the code in plot_util.plot_polar_contour() to use cartopy. This function definitely needs cartopy. It can be tested with example_scripts\configuration_gallery\gc31_arctic_example_plot.py. I'm guessing there has been some problems with git actions and cartopy so I've put the same as other functions that use cartopy with the:

try:
    import cartopy.crs as ccrs  # mapping plots
except ImportError:
    warn("No cartopy found - please run\nconda install -c conda-forge cartopy")
    sys.exit(-1)
