Review Washington State data and content

[fgassert]

Our mockup of the Washington State dashboard is very rough in terms of text and data. Washington state recently sent some additional data to support this.

http://cses.washington.edu/picea/mauger/CMIP5/DATA/ps_averages/summaries_csv/ These are the deltas, or differences from the 1950 - 1999 averages (not absolute values), for the Puget Sound using CMIP 5 model runs under four RCPs, or Representative Concentration Pathways. The variables have been summarized by differences in annual (ANN) and seasonal (December/January/February = “DJF”, etc.) temperature (T) and precipitation (P). The RCPs, summary time periods and variables are included in the names of the .csv files.

@cbweinstein please review the datasets to see if they can be turned into the widgets as mocked up. Feel free to comment on text as well.

Visual references based on the doc shared on Drive. Let me know if you have any question.

[fgassert]

Thanks @sergioestella! You're sharing these on Zeplin as well?

[sergioestella]

Yes, I will share with you guys through Zeplin afterwards.

[cbweinstein]

Thanks, @sergioestella ! It looks like the data available in the .csv files @fgassert linked does not match with what we need for the proposed widget mock-ups - those are projections, rather than the observed data in the mock-up. The .nc files in the parent directory look like they may have what we need, but they are difficult to parse through so we may need to go back to Washington for some more information. We might still be able to put together something with the csv data available, but it would not match what's proposed here.

Some light text edits are attached here: Mockup Text Edits.docx

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi,

@cbweinstein we've just uploaded a new version for Washington Dashboard and Insight into Zeplin, let me know if you have any question.

Thanks, Sergio

@sergioestella are the background images available to download for use in the prototype?

[cbweinstein]

Thanks, @sergioestella - I'm not currently in the Zeplin project, could you add me? Username is cbweinstein there as well.

[sergioestella]

@apfister do you usually work with sketch? If you don't, let me know and we will export the assets you need. @cbweinstein sure thing, let me know the email you want me to invite you to.

[cbweinstein]

@sergioestella charlotte.weinstein@wri.org would be great. Thanks!

[apfister]

@sergioestella i have not worked with sketch before. if you could export that would be ideal i think. thanks!

[sergioestella]

@apfister Ok, I'll let you know when ready.

[fgassert]

Hey @apfister, If you haven't tried it out yet I'd encourage you to use Zeplin to explore the designs, since it gives you pixel values, colors, and css styles directly. You can also export the images from there.

[apfister]

@fgassert that's what i used for transferring almost all of the designs to the prototype. there just a few images that weren't in Zeplin.

incredibly useful and time saving tool for sure!

[fgassert]

Excellent thanks!

[danicaso-vizzuality]

@apfister I updated Zeplin pages in order to let you export the rest of the images from there. Just in case, here you are a dropbox folder with them: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zorws2io80zo1p8/AACHeErd9I9YY63qA-gp1n9ia?dl=0 Be aware we are talking about change some of the ones used in the homepage: https://github.com/PReP-Team/prep-prototype/issues/32#event-642131777

If you need another one, please, let me know and I'll include it in the dropbox folder.

Hey @apfister, Here is the cleaned data for the second set of charts of projected temperature and precipitation: https://github.com/fgassert/PREP-washington-projection-data

Will need to loop back with the Washington State folks for the rest.

[fgassert]

A shapefile for the region of interest, the "Puget Sound Lowlands", can be found here: ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/cirs/climdiv/CONUS_CLIMATE_DIVISIONS.shp.zip OBJECTID = 106

[fgassert]

Ok, actually here is the cleaned data for the first two figures of historical data: https://github.com/fgassert/PREP-washington-observed-data

[apfister]

@danielcasius thanks, i was able to grab the images!

[apfister]

thanks @fgassert. will investigate today

[fgassert]

Great. Let me know if you want me to push these to AGOL or some other service

[apfister]

@fgassert i have the data published but was wondering what the red layer is behind the blue Puget Sounds Lowlands area? is that the temperature layer?

[apfister]

pushed a few more updates here @ http://prep-team.github.io/prep-prototype/#/dashboards/washington/indicators

the charts in the first section are in need of some work, but they are reading from real data pulling directly from a service. @d4weed @fgassert i am reaching out internally but could use some Vega expertise here. things like padding, axes, labels, etc. basically the things you notice right away are things i was not able to quickly sort out. maybe @ajturner can take a look as well? more info on how i have the chart spec'd and those charts as stand-alone examples are referenced in this PR, https://github.com/Esri/cedar/pull/183.

the charts in the second section have not been updated yet.

[fgassert]

@apfister. Awesome. To your previous comment. The blue shape that matches the shapefile I sent you, is the "Puget Sound Lowlands" the red shape is the entire "Puget Sound Region". I can look for a shapefile.

[apfister]

@fgassert ahh ok. sure if it helps :)

[d4weed]

Hey @apfister , sorry, missed your comment above. I'm looping in @davidsingal see if he can take a look

[davidsingal]

hello @apfister maybe this gist could help you, it's a example of line chart made in Vega https://gist.github.com/davidsingal/d4c3e6c8e39f1e6f40ec075a543bb83a, paste it in Vega Editor to test it
