Add labels for mixing ratio lines and adiabats on skewT
It would be helpful to have the ability to label mixing ratio lines and perhaps also dry and moist adiabats. Maybe I missed it in the documentation, but I haven't found an easy way to do this.
What I have in mind is similar to the examples below: Stull, Practical Meteorology http://bretwhissel.net/skewt/skewt-loc.pdf
Definitely a good idea. Would probably be readily do-able if/when we make these proper gridlines (or grline-like) as suggested in #112.
Also, did you see our user survey?
This would be good - the plots would be a lot more useful if all the lines were labelled.
Thanks for the vote @markmuetz - we'll try to get this bumped up the stack and get #112 closed out.
Hi metpy team, just dropping by here to give a +1 to this issue! Teaching thermodynamics right now, and I'm currently struggling with putting useful labels on mixing lines. Unlike the dry and moist adiabats, I can't easily infer mixing ratio values from the horizontal temperature axis.
Thanks @brian-rose ! Would love to have your feedback on the interface presented in #2488, which provides a declarative style plotting interface (inline with our existing "simplified" plotting interface) and features some support for labelling.
The challenge (that I may have to compromise on) is finding a way to do this that integrates within Matplotlib's gridline/ticking machinery rather than using some kind of judicious ~hack~workaround.
