Quasi Vertical Profile module for future use in Py-ART.

Quasi Vertical Profile (QVP)

Coding for creating QVPs from a radar object.

One set of code in progress,

QVP code based on adapted code from Scott Collis using the method found in Ryzhkov et al (2013, 2014, 20015). https://github.com/scollis/notebooks/blob/master/KLOT_qvp.ipynb
