Difficulty HARD
Time to Complete 2 or more hours
Video instructions

What you will learn in this Tutorial

In this tutorial you will learn how to plot and process UKCA data using the Iris and cf python packages. Example notebooks are provided using both packages, which can be also be viewed here:


and can be found in the

Tutorials/UMvn13.0/notebooks

directory on your virtual machine. At the end of each notebook are some suggested examples which you should think about and work through.

Observations

This tutorial also makes use of the Bodeker Scientific version 3.4.1 TCO dataset. For ease of use this has been processed from annual files into a single file using the following commands:

for i in `ls *.nc`; do echo $i; ncks -O --mk_rec_dmn time $i $i; done
for i in `ls *.nc`; do echo $i; ncatted -O -a created,global,d,, $i; done
for i in `ls *.nc`; do echo $i; ncatted -O -a units,longitude,o,c,degrees_east $i; done
for i in `ls *.nc`; do echo $i; ncatted -O -a units,latitude,o,c,degrees_north $i; done
ncrcat BSFilledTCO_V3.4.1_????_Monthly.nc ../BSFilledTCO_V3.4.1_Monthly.nc

We would like to thank Bodeker Scientific, funded by the New Zealand Deep South National Science Challenge, for providing the combined NIWA-BS total column ozone database.
