MetPy for your Data: Analyzing Meteorological Observations in Python

Python continues to grow as the premier programming language for processing data within research, education, and industry across the atmospheric sciences. Understanding how to apply Python to unique scientific and data needs is crucial for all stages of geoscience. An ecosystem of scientific Python libraries build upon each other and share a broad, interdisciplinary open source community. Within this ecosystem, MetPy is developed to support domain- and data-specific workflows spanning entire projects across the varied field of meteorology and atmospheric science. From remote data access and file reading to calculation and visualization, MetPy and the scientific Python ecosystem enable and enhance science for all levels of users.

This course is designed to empower learners to work more efficiently and with more confidence as they navigate this ecosystem, a variety of meteorological data formats (file types, access pathways, etc.), and data domains (eg surface/upper-air observations, gridded data, satellite imagery, radar data, etc.)

This course relies on synchronous, interactive sessions powered by Jupyter Lab. Live coding, errors to troubleshoot, and problem solving exercises will be featured for this workshop.
