Plotting Service

Working

A plotting service will be used to create the plot of weather data extracted. Here we have used metpy to plot the nexrad data and matplotlib to plot the merra data.

Plotting Merra data -

• Plot service will receive URL to download the merra data.
• This service will convert this extracted data into CSV format.
• Then the converted data will be passed to the plotting function which will generate plot as per user input.
