To be more specific, the documentation here is great: https://unidata.github.io/MetPy/latest/api/generated/metpy.plots.PlotObs.html#metpy.plots.PlotObs The Attributes Summary is basically what I'm looking to be included in the output of `?` in the notebook (and...

It looks like #2016 may address some of this, but looking through the traitlets documentation, I wonder if adding `@default` functions would address my main issue, so that typing `obs.time?`...

I don't think I see this one above: - [x] Allow user to pick a color other than black for the `MapPanel` layers #1691 is related.

- [ ] Eliminate the huge margins that result when saving a figure to PDF format. I know there are ways to accomplish this when using matplotlib directly, but I...

Constructing the parcel profile with the virtual temperature correction does not require the full dew point profile. (Only computing the virtual temperature of the environment requires the full profile.) For...

Well, as the parcel ascends above the LCL the saturation mixing ratio will decrease as water condenses out, but I figure you know that so I might be missing something....

The only real problem is it pollutes the tutorial output here: https://unidata.github.io/MetPy/latest/tutorials/declarative_tutorial.html But perhaps there is a different test file that tutorial could rely on, to avoid the warnings.

According to the [AMS Glossary](https://glossary.ametsoc.org/wiki/Sea_level_pressure), "the mean temperature for the preceding 12 hours is employed", so I'd only expect agreement (or at least, less of a discrepancy) if you used...

OK, I see that `vorticity` does compute something when I provide arrays for dx/dy. Regarding the map factors, they are fundamentally there to handle issues from projection. One of those...

Since I mentioned divergence and the Laplacian operator, I went ahead and made plots of those as well to show the difference between GEMPAK and MetPy. Here is 500-mb divergence:...
