Yes, agree more useful names are good in general
I'm all in for better names. Note, not only the notebook filenames but also the title at the top of the notebooks!
Regarding names:
- Rename Zonally_Averaged_Global_Meridional_Overturning_Circulation.ipynb to just Meridional_Overturning_Circulation.ipynb ? [Also, as an aside, I think we could absorb Atlantic_IndoPacific_Basin_Overturning_Circulation.ipynb into this notebook.]
100% ππΌ
- Rename Age_at_the_Bottom.ipynb. The important thing this notebook does is not showing age. It's the technique to extract the bottom most grid point of any variable that's what is useful. Rename to Extract_Variable_at_Bottom.ipynb or Extract_Bottom_Age.ipynb ?
I'd go for the slightly paraphrased: Extract_Variables_at_Ocean_Bottom.ipynb
- Rename Barotropic_Streamfunction_model_agnostic.ipynb to Barotropic_Streamfunction.ipynb ? I thought the idea is we're converting everything to be model agnostic, so not sure this needs to be in the title?
100% ππΌ I was thinking about this yesterday but didn't make the PR!
- Rename Bathymetry.ipynb to Bathymetry_with_Pretty_Land.ipynb?
It's a bit subjective whether it's pretty or not :) I find it pretty -- don't get me wrong. Let's leave this one as "Bathymetry". I think it's not that problematic...
- Binning_transformation_from_depth_to_potential_density.ipynb rename to Transformation_from_Depth_to_Potential_Density.ipynb ? Or Depth_to_Potential_Density_Transformation.ipynb ?
I like Transformation_from_Depth_to_Potential_Density
or just Vertical_coordinate_transformation
?
- Rename Decomposing_kinetic_energy_into_mean_and_transient.ipynb to Eddy_Kinetic_Energy.ipynb
How about Eddy-Mean_Kinetic_Energy_Decomposition
?
- Rename Regridding.ipynb to Horizontal_Regridding_with_xesmf.ipynb
How about just Horizontal_regridding
?
- Rename SeaIceSeasonality_DFA.ipynb to Sea_Ice_Advance_Retreat_Duration_Statistics.ipynb. I'm not sure what DFA is?
100% ππΌ
- Rename SeaIce_Obs_Model_Compare.ipynb to Sea_Ice_Area_Concentration_Volume_with_Obs.ipynb
100% ππΌ
- Rename SeaIce_Plot_Example.ipynb. The main point of this notebook is not the plotting, but the explanation of how to convert CICE variables into a format compatible with MOM output. Maybe Sea_Ice_Coordinate_Conversion_Explanation.ipynb ?
100% ππΌ; perhaps @anton-seaice has a better view point?
- Rename TemperatureSalinityDiagrams_mom5_mom6.ipynb to Temperature_Salinity_Diagrams.ipynb
100% ππΌ
SeaIceSeasonality_DFA.ipynb to Sea_Ice_Advance_Retreat_Duration_Statistics.ipynb
DFA = Denise
I think Sea_Ice_Seasonality is fine, or Sea_Ice_Duration is also fine. You need Advance and Retreat to calculate Duration, so its kind of implied that is included. I wouldn't add "Statistics"
Rename SeaIce_Plot_Example.ipynb...
Maybe Sea_Ice_Coordinates is enough ?
NearestNeighbourDistance.ipynb annoys me ... can it be Nearest_Neighbour_Distance at least :)
DFA
Oh we donβt want names on notebooks.
I actually thought it was something related with seasonality eg December-February-April but I never bothered thinking too much about it.
SeaIceSeasonality_DFA.ipynb to Sea_Ice_Advance_Retreat_Duration_Statistics.ipynb
DFA = Denise
I think Sea_Ice_Seasonality is fine, or Sea_Ice_Duration is also fine. You need Advance and Retreat to calculate Duration, so it's kind of implied that is included. I wouldn't add "Statistics"
Sea_Ice_Seasonality_Statistics.ipynb
ππΌ
Rename SeaIce_Plot_Example.ipynb...
Maybe Sea_Ice_Coordinates is enough ?
Sea_Ice_Coordinates.ipynb
ππΌ
NearestNeighbourDistance.ipynb annoys me ... can it be Nearest_Neighbour_Distance at least :)
Nearest_Neighbour_Distances.ipynb
?
I think Sea_Ice_Seasonality is fine, or Sea_Ice_Duration is also fine. You need Advance and Retreat to calculate Duration, so its kind of implied that is included. I wouldn't add "Statistics"
I don't know, when i think 'sea ice seasonality', I think of a climatological time series of extent. I think having at least Duration in there would be helpful.
Rename SeaIce_Plot_Example.ipynb...
Maybe Sea_Ice_Coordinates is enough ? ππΌ
I'll edit the very top post here with the names we're converging to, so it doesn't get too messy.
I may even add the rename
True_zonal_mean
to
Zonal_mean_in_tripolar_grids
or something even more generic?
I don't like the True
... it's redundant. It's the true zonal mean but why we need to point it out. Except we wanna put this everywhere... True_AMOC
, True_Meridional_Heat_Transport
, ...
I started a PR to work towards doing this renaming...
Many of the Example notebooks don't have very obvious names for what they do. And some of them could be simplified. I propose we rename a bunch of them. Here are some first suggestions, please comment if you have better suggestions.
Note these have been edited to include suggestions from comments below.
Rename Zonally_Averaged_Global_Meridional_Overturning_Circulation.ipynb to just Meridional_Overturning_Circulation.ipynb. [Also, as an aside, I think we could absorb Atlantic_IndoPacific_Basin_Overturning_Circulation.ipynb into this notebook.]
Rename Age_at_the_Bottom.ipynb. The important thing this notebook does is not showing age. It's the technique to extract the bottom most grid point of any variable that's what is useful. Rename to Extract_Variables_at_Ocean_Bottom.ipynb.
Rename Barotropic_Streamfunction_model_agnostic.ipynb to Barotropic_Streamfunction.ipynb. I thought the idea is we're converting everything to be model agnostic, so not sure this needs to be in the title?
Leave Bathymetry.ipynb as is? I still feel like it could be nice to indicate the main point of this notebook is to do a fancy projection and add coloured land. Plotting just bathymetry is pretty straighforward. Bathymetry_with_Pretty_Land.ipynb?
Binning_transformation_from_depth_to_potential_density.ipynb rename to Transformation_from_Depth_to_Potential_Density.ipynb. Or Vertical_Coordinate_Transformation.ipynb.
Rename Decomposing_kinetic_energy_into_mean_and_transient.ipynb to Eddy-Mean_Kinetic_Energy_Decomposition.ipynb
Rename NearestNeighbourDistance.ipynb to Nearest_Neighbour_Distance.ipynb
Rename Regridding.ipynb to Horizontal_Regridding.ipynb
Rename SeaIceSeasonality_DFA.ipynb to Sea_Ice_Duration_Statistics.ipynb. I'm not sure what DFA is?
Rename SeaIce_Obs_Model_Compare.ipynb to Sea_Ice_Area_Concentration_Volume_with_Obs.ipynb
Rename SeaIce_Plot_Example.ipynb to Sea_Ice_Coordinates.ipynb
Rename TemperatureSalinityDiagrams_mom5_mom6.ipynb to Temperature_Salinity_Diagrams.ipynb
