NBM AWS Python - Interactive Viewer
This jupyter-notebook-based interactive viewer interfaces with the NOAA NBM (National Blend of Models) AWS S3 Bucket to visualize any of the available variables.
Before running, you will need to add a "./data" folder for collecting data.
NBM data can be perused here: https://registry.opendata.aws/noaa-nbm/
In the interactive viewer, users can
- select the variable they would like to display,
- select a different the colorscale,
- adjust the max, min, and number of contours on the colorscale,
- scale the map by lat-lon coordinates,
- and select which forecast hour to display.
In code, users can
- add different map layers,
- pull archived dates from the AWS bucket,
- pull NBM QMD grib data,
- pull other AWS grib data,
- change map projections,
- and alter units of variables before plotting.
Users will need to add their credentials to the AWS CLI to use the AWS downloading with boto3.
