LEAP offers a few bootcamps on Climate Data Science each year using LEAP Pangeo Jupyter Hub. Please refer to the LEAP-Pangeo Technical Documentation for more information on LEAP-Pangeo
Check out the LEAP-Pangeo FAQs if you run into problems
Instructor: Qingyuan Yang, Ph.D., Department of Earth and Environment Engineering Columbia University
Learning Goals:
- Learn to process, analyze and visualize climate data in the cloud with scientific Python using the LEAP-Pangeo Jupyter Hub;
- Gain a understanding of fundamental climate concepts, alongside common diagnostic statistics and techniques.
The workplan for Day-1 is on the following page. We mainly follow the workshop 2023 Train- the-Trainer Bootcamp Day 1: Climate and Geospatial Data Analysis by Prof. Ryan Abernathey. The day is divided into lecture sessions and interactive studios, offering participants the chance to solidify their learning through hands-on practice. Students are asked to mirror the instructor’s each step during lecture sessions using LEAP-Pangeo Hub and are encouraged to work in groups.
