I’m unfortunately still having some issues with plot_precip.. The errors that I am having now aren’t raising an error but instead the process is being automatically killed due to out of memory issues, this happened quite a few times with the Cotopaxi and I think other volcanoes. I’m not sure if this is unique to jetstream2. There is also still the issue with the name/latlon switch for some map plots.

@giacomo if you end up having time next week to start the refactor, I would suggest that you open a new branch, called refactor and start working on the changes there.

A couple things that we should prioritize for the refactor include:
1. Break up prompt subplots and simplify. (see the last commit for my suggestions)
2. A plot function should take the axes as an input parameter. This would allow greater control of the plot and means we can make one big figure of n subplots and pass each axes to a plotting function. Currently plt... is being used. This is a bigger change and you will need to get familiar with matplotlib to do so. Long term, this change will be really worth it.

3. Less inps arguments (start with positional/volcanoname and all the download options) - at the moment I need to comment out the 'inps.volcano_name == inps.positional' line if I want to use run_all..
4. Read through minty cli sccripts and plot functions for good templates.

For each volcano/run it should generate one or more files that people can download if they want to.

When everything is nicely running we need to support additional datasets:

• https://www.chc.ucsb.edu/data/chirps
• ECMWF
• start in 1940 using ECMWF
• longer for individual volcanoes using gauge data
