Storm Tracking Cookbook

This Project Pythia Cookbook covers ... (replace ... with the main subject of your cookbook ... e.g., working with radar data in Python)

Motivation

Structure

(State one or more sections that will comprise the notebook. E.g., This cookbook is broken up into two main sections - "Foundations" and "Example Workflows." Then, describe each section below.)

Section 1 ( Replace with the title of this section, e.g. "Foundations" )

(Add content for this section, e.g., "The foundational content includes ... ")

Section 2 ( Replace with the title of this section, e.g. "Example workflows" )

(Add content for this section, e.g., "Example workflows include ... ")

Running the Notebooks

You can either run the notebook using Binder or on your local machine.

Running on Binder

The simplest way to interact with a Jupyter Notebook is through Binder, which enables the execution of a Jupyter Book in the cloud. The details of how this works are not important for now. All you need to know is how to launch a Pythia Cookbooks chapter via Binder. Simply navigate your mouse to the top right corner of the book chapter you are viewing and click on the rocket ship icon, (see figure below), and be sure to select “launch Binder”. After a moment you should be presented with a notebook that you can interact with. I.e. you’ll be able to execute and even change the example programs. You’ll see that the code cells have no output at first, until you execute them by pressing {kbd}Shift+{kbd}Enter. Complete details on how to interact with a live Jupyter notebook are described in Getting Started with Jupyter.

Note, not all Cookbook chapters are executable. If you do not see the rocket ship icon, such as on this page, you are not viewing an executable book chapter.

Running on Your Own Machine

If you are interested in running this material locally on your computer, you will need to follow this workflow:

1. Clone the https://github.com/ProjectPythia/storm-tracking-cookbook repository:

bash git clone https://github.com/ProjectPythia/storm-tracking-cookbook.git

1. Move into the storm-tracking-cookbook directory bash cd storm-tracking-cookbook
2. Create and activate your conda environment from the environment.yml file bash conda env create -f environment.yml conda activate storm-tracking-cookbook-dev
3. Move into the notebooks directory and start up Jupyterlab bash cd notebooks/ jupyter lab
