Science Data Stories

Hurricane Helene Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Surface Height - Tutorial

Use Python to plot the SST and SSH in the Gulf of Mexico to show how Hurricane Helene impacted the region in September 2024.

Amazon Estuary Exploration - Tutorial - Cloud | Tutorial - Local

Explores the relationships between land water equivalent thickness, river height, sea surface salinity, and sea surface temperature in the Amazon River estuary and coastal region from multiple datasets (GRACE-FO, Pre-SWOT MEaSUREs, OISSS, & MODIS).

EOF Decomposition of Global Monthly SST - Tutorial

This demo uses the xeofs package to replicate part of an empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis on century-long, global sea surface temperatures (SSTs) published in Journal of Climate (Messie and Chavez, 2011): https://doi.org/10.1175/2011JCLI3941.1, and can be run entirely in the cloud.

Salinity Ocean Satellite & In-situ Comparison - Tutorial

Monitoring Changes in the Arctic Using Saildrone (in situ) and SMAP (satellite), comparing salinity. Both datasets are located within the cloud.

Pairing Cloud and Non-cloud Data

Tutorials highlighting workflows that utilize both cloud and non-cloud data simultaneously.

Mississippi River Heights Exploration - Tutorial

This tutorial explores the relationships between satellite and in situ river heights in the Mississippi River using Pre-SWOT MEaSUREs and USGS river height gauges within the cloud.

Sea Surface Temperature Ocean Satellite & In-situ Comparison - Tutorial

This tutorial co-locates in-situ measurements and satellite data of sea surface temperature (SST) near the European coast for cross-validation of data or model validation. Datasets: Argo floats, MODIS-Aqua L2 SST, & MUR L4 SST.
