!! Preliminary !!

Morning

• Open Science overview (30 - 45 min) (must)
• Toolkit basics - xradar/command line tools/xarray, LROSE (GUI, CLI), BALTRAD (1 to 1.5 hours)
  • Research (30 minutes)
    • xradar
    • Py-ART/wradlib
    • LROSE
    • Visualization (tools, colormaps, …)
  • Operations (30 minutes)
    • Pyrad
    • LROSE
    • BALTRAD
  • Sample workflows
    • Xradar → Py-ART + wradlib
    • GPM-API + wradlib
    • LROSE wind tool?
    • BALTRAD GUI

What aspects of the radar processing chain where each package is useful; make a flowchart of data flow?
See this for example: https://github.com/openradar/asean2024-pyrad-course/blob/main/presentations/pdf/01_open_meteorological_radar_software_constellation.pdf

Afternoon

• Some set of curated datasets
• GPM - ground based radar comparison
• NEXRAD - potential for multidoppler
• xarray/datatree/zarr + dask (cloud/arco format) Colombian Sigmet radar data - ARCO!
• OPERA data? Focused on Italy?
