aus400-cookbook¶
Notebooks and library for working with Aus400 data
Aus400 is a large-scale high resolution simulation of the atmosphere over the Australian continent during the landfall of Tropical Cyclone Debbie, from 20170327 to 20170329 run at NCI by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes and the Bureau of Meterology for the testing of the Gadi supercomputer.
This cookbook provides tools for working with the 50 TB of output produced by the model run. It is intended to be run at NCI facilities, either on the VDI virtual desktop or on the Gadi compute nodes.
The directory ‘aus400’ contains a library with helper functions for loading data as Xarray objects with appropriate Dask chunking. Documentation is available at https://aus400-cookbook.readthedocs.io.
The ‘notebooks’ directory contains sample analyses of the dataset using these functions and the ‘analysis3’ conda environment managed by CLEX CMS at NCI
Contributions to this repository of functions or notebooks are welcome.
