Introduction

Welcome to the GDEX Examples documentation! This repository provides example notebooks and scripts that demonstrate how to access data from NCAR’s GDEX for cool geoscience applications and visualizations.

How is the repository organized?¶

This repository is organized by into various sections based on the type of dataset used:

• Observations (satellite, in-situ measurements)

• Analysis (NCEP GFS analyses)

• Reanalysis (ERA5, JRA-3Q, etc.)

• Model output/Simulations (CESM, CMIP, etc.)

• Data Fusion (Combination of two or more datasets)

• Contribution (A guide on contributions)

🌐 Multiple Access Methods¶

Some of these notebooks use intake/intake-ESM catalogs that support multiple access patterns :

• POSIX: Direct filesystem access for NCAR HPC users

• HTTPS: Web-based access for remote users
