ncdashboard

An Open Source project to generate dynamic visualizations of ocean and atmospheric data.

Installation

Follow these steps to run ncdashboard.py including creating a new environment with ncdashboard_env.yml:

Create a new conda environment using the ncdashboard_env.yml file. This file should contain all the necessary packages for the project.
```
conda env create -f ncdashboard_env.yml
```
Activate the newly created environment.
```
conda activate ncdashboard
```
Run the ncdashboard.py script.
```
python ncdashboard.py path_to_file
```

Please ensure that you have the conda package manager installed and that the ncdashboard_env.yml file is in the same directory as your terminal session. If not, you will need to provide the full path to the ncdashboard_env.yml file in the conda env create command.

Running

To run the ncdashboard.py script, you will need to provide the path to the netCDF file or files you wish to visualize. For example, if you have a file called test.nc in the same directory as the ncdashboard.py script, you would run the following command:

python ncdashboard.py test.nc

If you have multiple files you can use regular expressions to select them. For example, if you have a directory with multiple files, you can select all the files with the .nc extension using the following command:

python ncdashboard.py path --regex "*.nc"

Examples

This section contains examples of the visualizations that can be generated using the ncdashboard.py script with the example data provided in the test_data directory.

Single netcdf file

To test using a single netcdf file in test_data, run the following command:

python ncdashboard.py test_data/gom_t007.nc

Multiple netcdf files with regex

To test using multiple netcdf files in test_data, run the following command:

python ncdashboard.py test_data --regex "*.nc"
