Matplotlib animations from ECMWF data

Loading data¶ In our previous post, we saw how to retrieve data from the ECMWF. Today we're going to work on a NetCDF dataset from ERA Interim providing the 2 metre temperature in kelvins. We retrieved this file using this Python code: from ecmwfapi import ECMWFDataServer server = ECMWFDataServer() server.retrieve({ "class" [...]

Multicore GRIB processing with xarray

In today's post, we're going to use xarray multicore capabilities to access a fairly large weather dataset using Python. To illustrate our purpose, we'll look at 15 years of solar radiations provided by the ECMWF. It takes a while to retrieve such a large dataset from the ECMWF, so I'll just give a direct link to a file with 15 years of data [...]

A notebook container for meteorology

At WeatherForce, we do a lot of data analysis with Jupyter notebooks. Since setting up an environment for meteorological data can take a bit of time, we've decided to create a Docker image containing a suitable ready-to-use environment. The Jupyter project encourages this approach by providing a hierarchy of ready-made Docker images [...]
