Challenge 11 - Jupyter widgets to help process and explore meteorological data
Goal
To bring many of Metview's existing desktop-based interactive tools into Jupyter notebooks.
Mentors and skills
Challenge description
Metview is ECMWF's software package for accessing, processing and visualising meteorological data. It has a rich set of interactive GUI tools in a Linux/macOS desktop environment, making it easy to configure things such as plotting styles, and to explore data. Inside a Jupyter notebook environment, users can use Metview's python API to script tasks, but it lacks these interactive tools. We would like to provide these tools inside a notebook environment. In particular, we suggest that Metview's icon editors and its data examiners be implemented as Jupyter widgets. Integration into Jupyterlab as extensions could be a further step to take.
