NOAA/NWS Meteorological Development Lab (MDL) produces model output statistics (MOS) for a variety of NOAA/NCEP Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. MOS is produced via MDL's in-house MOS-2000 (MOS2K) Fortran-based software system. MOS2K uses a GRIB-like binary data format called TDLPACK. pytdlpack is a Python interface to reading and writing TDLPACK files. A brief introduction to TDLPACK files and data format can be found here.
Provide a Python interface for reading and writing TDLPACK files.
