Everything on a computer is at its core a binary number, since computers do everything with bits that represent 0 and 1. In order to have a file that is "plain text", so human readable with minimal ...

Python interface to map GRIB files to the Unidata's Common Data Model v4 following the CF Conventions. The high level API is designed to support a GRIB engine for xarray and it is inspired by ...

In climate data analysis, I recently encountered NetCDF files during my exploration of weather datasets. While initially unfamiliar with this format, I quickly realized its significance in storing and ...

Spectral Indices derived from multispectral remote sensing products are extensively used to monitor Earth system dynamics (e.g. vegetation dynamics, water bodies, fire regimes). The rapid increase of ...

We share the story of how we made this paper, the first executable paper in Heliophysics, through cross-disciplinary collaboration to highlight the benefits of our process. Executable papers are ...

Land and Earth system modeling is moving towards more explicit biophysical representations, requiring increasing variety of datasets for initialization and benchmarking. However, researchers often ...

a. I have been lucky to be in a position that I can have a positive impact on the career of hundreds (if not thousands) of people. Fortunately, I feel relatively secure in my career and I have ...

New data on ocean climate were collected through multiple deployments of a saildrone, an uncrewed, wind- and solar-powered sailing vessel capable of conducting data collection missions for up to 12 ...

As a condition of using these data, you must cite the use of this data set. Such a practice gives credit to data set producers and advances principles of transparency and reproducibility. Other ...

Underwater gliders have become widely used in the last decade. This has led to a proliferation of data and the concomitant development of tools to process the data. These tools are focused primarily ...
