pysteps.nowcasts.interface.get_method(name)

Return a callable function for computing nowcasts.

Description: Return a callable function for computing deterministic or ensemble precipitation nowcasts.

Implemented methods:

Name	Description
eulerian	this approach keeps the last observation frozen (Eulerian persistence)
lagrangian or extrapolation	this approach extrapolates the last observation using the motion field (Lagrangian persistence)
sprog	the S-PROG method described in [See03]
steps	the STEPS stochastic nowcasting method described in [See03], [BPS06] and [SPN13]
sseps	short-space ensemble prediction system (SSEPS). Essentially, this is a localization of STEPS.

steps and sseps produce stochastic nowcasts, and the other methods are deterministic.
