Hey there,
I created our github repo with the data for the two exercises (Ex1, Ex2) and also added an interactive cloud model implementation (CloudModel.ipynb). Also, I compiled a .yml file from my conda environment, which you can use to create your own local env like so (given that you already installed, e.g., miniconda3:
conda env create -f paramretrieval.yml
Then you can simply run
source activate paramretrieval
to activate the environment. To start a jupyter kernel, type
jupyter notebook
in the group1 repository and open CloudModel.ipynb to play around a bit.
Cheers, Felix
