On behalf of the SuperDARN Data Visualization Working Group (DVWG) Carley Martin has announced the release of pyDARN v3.0.

In this release, we include the optional cartopy dependency for underlaid maps and convection maps in magnetic coordinates. Along with a number of other bug fixes and improvements.

To install:
pip3 install --upgrade pydarn

Or you can download the zip on Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/record/6473574

Any information on using pyDARN can be found in our documentation here: https://pydarn.readthedocs.io/en/main/

From the announcement email to the DARN-users listserv:

Please note that if you install previous versions of pyDARN in a fresh environment, the hdw repository branch name on GitHub has now changed from masterto mainand as such the hdw files will not be downloaded with the package. This version of pyDARN has specifically been designed to read the new format of hdw files released yesterday.

If you are interested in helping out with pyDARN development or becoming a member of DVWG, please get in touch.

The DVWG is also currently looking for a new chair, if you or anyone you know is interested in helping pyDARN and the DVWG with its future direction, please also get in touch!

Thanks,
Carley Martin
