Download introduction material

The introduction consists of six exercises in the form of Jupyter notebooks that will give a basic introduction to:

  • numpy (data arrays)

  • matplotlib (plotting)

  • xarray (arrays with named axes)

  • cartopy (plotting geographical data on maps).

The notebooks need to be downloaded an unzipped:

  1. Navigate to the ip_python folder and and create a subfolder for the introduction, e.g. naming it intro.

  2. Download the intro material: intro.zip.

  3. Unzip intro.zip into the intro folder. This should extract two folders:

    intro
    ├── code
    │   ├── 1.1_numpy_intro.ipynb
    │   ├── 2.1_matplotlib_intro.ipynb
    │   ├── 3.1_xarray_dataarray.ipynb
    │   ├── 3.2_xarray_dataset.ipynb
    │   ├── 4.1_cartopy_intro_scatter.ipynb
    │   └── 4.2_cartopy_pcolormesh.ipynb
    └── data
        ├── ...
    
  4. Start jupyter lab from the Miniforge prompt (or the command line):

  5. Navigate to ip_python/intro/code folder. There you will find the exercises.
