I am new to python and I need to extract data from 5 lakes within the lakes_cci files. I do not know the exact workflow to get this done successfully and I am running against time in working on my dissertation. I really need guided assistance on how to go about this so i can download data for my dissertation.

Thank you for using lakes_cci data. Which variable are you interested in? To download the data, you can either use the jupyter notebooks and select a region (by defining its coordinates as shown in the example), or select a lake on the basis of its identifier (available in a csv or shp file on the project website: https://climate.esa.int/en/projects/lakes/data/), or use the CEDA ftp server (https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/uuid/a07deacaffb8453e93d57ee214676304). In the latter case, each file contains global data.

Thanks for your response. I am interested in the following variables:

  1. Lake water level (LWL)
  2. Lake water extent (LWE)
  3. Lake water surface temperature (LWST)
  4. Lake water reflectance (LWLR)
  5. Lake water chlorophyll (CHL-A)

Did you mange to download the data for the lakes you are interested in?

No, I haven't.

You need to download and run the jupyter notebook, adapting the input parameters to the lakes you need.
