v0.44.1

Breaking changes

• By default, call xr.open_mfdataset with lock=False in the MetDataSource.open_dataset method. This helps alleviate a dask threading issue similar to this GitHub issue.

Fixes

• Support MetDataset source in the HistogramMatching humidity scaling model. Previously only GeoVectorDataset sources were explicitly supported.
• Replace np.gradient with dask.array.gradient in the tau_cirrus module. This ensures that the computation is done lazily for dask-backed arrays.
• Round to 6 digits in the polygon.determine_buffer function. This avoid unnecessary warnings for rounding errors.
• Fix type hint for opencv-python 4.8.0.74.

Internals

• Take more care with float and int types in the contrail_properties module. Prefer np.clip to np.where or np.maximum for clipping values.
• Support air_temperature in CocipGrid verbose formation outputs.
• Remove pytest-timeout dev dependency.
