This repository includes notebooks that illustrate how we can plot regridded precipitation data from X-SHiELD, hosted on Google Cloud through the NOAA Open Data Dissemination (NODD) Program, without downloading a copy of the data locally.

binder offers a way of freely running Jupyter notebooks in the cloud with a custom Python environment. We have set this up for this repository. You can use it to run the interactive visualization notebook; however, you will find that it runs relatively slowly. You will likely find running it locally will produce a faster response.

To run the interactive visualization notebook locally, first clone the repository and install the needed Python dependencies:

$ git clone https://github.com/spencerkclark/NODD-notebook.git
$ cd NODD-notebook
$ conda env create --file environment.yml --name 2024-01-16-NODD-notebook
$ conda activate 2024-01-16-NODD-notebook

Then start a Jupyterlab server:

$ jupyter lab

and open the interactive-plot.ipynb notebook.
