Visualization of Climate Data using NetCDF xarray Map Plotting
Abstract
The data used in this tutorial is ECMWF Reanalysis 5 hourly data on single levels. We are interested in the following variables: air temperature at 2 metres, latitude, longitude and time. Our main objective is to plot the global air temperature at 2 metres with respect to time. For this we will be using the netCDF xarray tool available in the Galaxy Europe (or your favourite Galaxy Instance) server.
