+title: Vertical Profile extraction (VP_Extraction)
+message: >-
+  VP_Extraction creates a time series of vertical profiles
+  from dual-pol weather radar data. Vertical profiles might
+  be generated as QVPs - quasi-vertical profiles or CVPs -
+  column vertical products.

+abstract: >+
+  The Vertical Profile generation code, used in the DRUID,
+  BioDar, and PESTdar projects.
+
+
+  This code contains a refactored version of the QVP
+  (quasi-vertical profile) extraction code which has been
+  extended to allow static CVP (column vertical profile)
+  extraction. 
+
+
+  The code is able to read ODIM-formatted HDF5 files. Due to
+  some issues with assumptions made by the ODIM reading
+  function in pyart, a modified version of the read_odim_h5
+  function has been included in the program which subsets
+  the input file by pulse type and time. This is necessary
+  as the pyart ODIM reader is capable of reading ODIM files
+  generated by the Nimrod2ODIM script, however, aggregated
+  files generated by the hdf5 aggregator are not read
+  properly due to the aggregated nature of the files
+  themselves. 
+
+
+  Included in this code is an environment file that can be
+  used for running the program using python 3.8.
