What you should be able to do in advance

  • python programming structures
  • if clauses
  • function calling
  • print statements
  • well, running python scripts (in python shell and interactive shell like ipython)
  • edit python scripts in the editor of your choice
  • ...

Seminar outline

Working with arrays (Gernot, Michael) (19.07.2012)

Plotting (1D,2D,3D) (Alex) (2.8.2012)

  • always use figure/ax

  • a brief tour through matplotlib gallery

    • lineplots
    • fill between
    • contour plots
  • nice colorbars, colormaps handling etc.
  • working with different axes in a single plot; twinx()
  • saving figures
    • fitting to actual content

Geospatial data format handling and vizualization (Mikhail) (09.08.2012)

  • Nio - handling netCDF
    • read netCDF
    • write netCDF
