Astro-Atmos Documentation

Tools to make local weather forecasts for terrestrial astronomical observations.

Note: Because of the models/data sources currently implemented, this can only forecast locations within the United States. I have partially developed support for Canada too, but it is currently incomplete.

Code documentation is found here. For a more general overview and installation instructions check out the Github page.

bodies	Functions for getting the altitude of celestial bodies (e.g. sun, moon) at a given time and location on Earth.
