Description

  • ScienceVisuals/: Lectures on improving science figures
    • LineGraph/: Script on improving line graphs
    • MapGraph/ : Script on improving map plots
    • Presentations/: Powerpoints on discussing science visualization [SlideShare]
  • Data/: Additional data files not provided by Python URL functions
  • Figures/: Arbitrary figures as examples from listed scripts
  • Scripts/: Main Python scripts/functions used in data analysis and plotting.
  • requirements.txt: List of environments and modules associated with the most recent version of this project. A Python Anaconda3 Distribution was used for the analysis. Tools including NCL 6.4.0, CDO, and NCO were also used for initial data manipulation. ImageMagick is used for most of the animations (GIF). All code has been tested with Python 3.6.
