[python #FIG-705965]: Control Operational Portal

Greetings!

Due to the speed of reading and visualizing data with Python, to my knowledge 
the use of the Python scientific stack (and tools like MetPy) are typically 
limited to web applications that do the data visualization offline and present 
users with static images. This site I believe is based on Python and uses some 
MetPy under the hood:

  
http://arctic.som.ou.edu/tburg/products/realtime/models/?model=gfs&base=ptype&background=plain&state=states_brown&country=countries_brown&proj=conus&archive=false&run=2021040512

I suppose if the data were of limited size and the visualizations were simple 
enough you could render images of vertical winds in an on-demand basis. You may 
have some luck with tools like Bokeh or PlotLy for interactive graphics, but 
that's going to depend on your ability to get your data into formats that those 
tools can work well with interactively.

We're located in Boulder!

Cheers!
