Switch from precipitation to ocean data #11

Open DamienIrving opened 6 years ago

DamienIrving commented 6 years ago

A number of improvements could be made by switching from a data analysis problem focused on precipitation data to once focused on an ocean variable:

  1. It would allow the topic of regridding (i.e. from curvilinear to rectilinear) to be explored (see #10)
  2. It would allow the topic of large arrays to be covered (see #8)
  3. It would be a more appropriate use of the cmocean library

(The vectorisation lesson could be a basin file rather than an sftlf file.)
