+# pySonde: converting radiosonde files to netcdf
+
+pySonde converts Vaisala's radiosonde files (mwx) to netCDF4 and interpolates them if needed to a common height grid for easier processing.
 
 ## Setup
 ```
-pip install -r requirements.txt
-python setup.py sdist
-pip install dist/pysonde*.tar.gz
+pip install pysonde

-## Simple Plotting

-The package also includes a few plotting routines that can be called with e.g.
-
-Unix:
-```sh
-sounding_visualize -i converted/file/sounding.nc

+The configuration of attributes, variable names and units of the input and output is done via yaml files in the `config` folder.
 
-## SkewT Plotting
+To post-process radiosoundings with pysonde and track the processing steps, a new repository should be created that only contains the `config` folder and its scripts. An additional bash script with the `sounding_converter` calls tracks the processing steps. The version used of pysonde is automatically inserted into the output files.

+The [repository containing the processing setup for the circBrazil campaign](https://github.com/observingClouds/soundings_circbrazil) can serve as a template.
