What maintenance does this project need?

We can only add the map-based ones that do not require any computations.

Magics gallery: https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/MAGP/Gallery Magics notebooks: https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/MAGP/Jupyter+notebooks+examples Metview gallery: https://metview.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gen_files/gallery/index.html

First thing to discuss is how to fetch the input data, which is currently located on the download server under the Magics and Metview projects, respectively.

Please note that earhkit.data has the download_example_file() method , which ensures the given file is downloaded from the earthkit-data examples folder on the download server and available locally.

Hi @sandorkertesz,

I have started to expand the examples library in earthkit-maps based on the MetView examples, but for now I'm using slightly different data (but producing the same kind of plots). So far I've mostly been using the CDS for the basic examples, because it removes the need to store files in the Nexus repository - although I appreciate that we can't replicate all of the examples from the CDS!

Perhaps we should put anything we want for earthkit-maps examples in the earthkit-data test-data space? That way we have a single location for all earthkit test data, with a single function in earthkit-data to retrieve it (rather than creating spearate spaces and retrieval functions for each earthkit component). What do you think?
