pysteps.visualization.basemaps.plot_map_cartopy¶

pysteps.visualization.basemaps.plot_map_cartopy(crs, extent, cartopy_scale, drawlonlatlines=False, drawlonlatlabels=True, lw=0.5, subplot=None)¶

Plot coastlines, countries, rivers and meridians/parallels using cartopy.

Parameters

crs: object: Instance of a crs class defined in cartopy.crs. It can be created using utils.proj4_to_cartopy.
extent: scalars (left, right, bottom, top): The coordinates of the bounding box.
drawlonlatlines: bool: Whether to plot longitudes and latitudes.
drawlonlatlabels: bool, optional: If set to True, draw longitude and latitude labels. Valid only if ‘drawlonlatlines’ is True.
cartopy_scale: {‘10m’, ‘50m’, ‘110m’}: The scale (resolution) of the map. The available options are ‘10m’, ‘50m’, and ‘110m’.
lw: float: Line width.
subplot: tuple of int (nrows, ncols, index) or SubplotSpec_ instance, optional: The subplot where to place the basemap. By the default, the basemap will replace the current axis.

Returns

ax: axes: Cartopy axes. Compatible with matplotlib.
