Any suggestions are appreciated!
For downloading the datasets and session files, I included links to the files in Google Drive. Let me know if there is a better way!
I think we'd be able to! Is the dataset too big to host on GitHub? That would probably be the easiest because then they'd have it when they clone the repository. It's about 170 MB. Otherwise I think we could find another way!
RDA would be a good option. I've moved VAPOR sample data to RDA. We can move Katrina data to the same place?
Good ideas! Another thought -- if users are following along by copying and pasting into their own workspace instead of cloning the whole repository, they won't have access to the get_data.py script. Another idea I had was to have a cell for command lines, like this:
!curl -o Katrina.zip "https://data.rda.ucar.edu/ds897.7/Katrina.zip"
!unzip -o Katrina.zip -d ./data
!rm Katrina.zip
Agreed.
Ok, I've made some updates and I think it runs better!
I got the image renderer working with a fresh conda build! But it looks like Natural Earth is the only builtin map at the moment, and I think that one only renders land, unless I'm wrong about that? Do you know if there's a way to get the oceans to render? Otherwise maybe we could try adding BigBlueMarble to the builtin maps
This is what it looks like at the moment:
Using the filepath to BigBlueMarble:
You are right. The oceans are black in the dataset. Could this be another file that we could download? Alternatively, the black ocean down't look bad too... I believe we intentionally donot include blue marble to avoid making the maps package too large. Let's chat tomorrow.
Adding two new notebooks
