errors importing downdraft cape from metpy

I am trying to calculate downdraft CAPE using the Metpy calc function. Although, when I attempt to import this calculation by using:

from metpy.calc import downdraft_cape

But I receiving an import error specifically saying: cannot import name 'downdraft_cape' from 'metpy.calc'

Any idea what could be going on here? Thanks!

Solution

  • downdraft_cape was added to MetPy in version 1.6.0, so I would first double check what version of MetPy you’re running with:

    import metpy
print(metpy.__version__)
