Description
Challenge 13 - Atmospheric Datasets Comparison (ADC) Toolbox Evolution
Stream 1 - Software development for weather, climate and atmosphere
Goal
Improve and extend the functionality of the library.
Mentors and skills
- Mentors: Antje Inness, Federico Fierli, Miha Razinger
- Skills required:
- Python (pandas, xarray, cfgrib, matplotlib)
- Jupyter (ipywidgets)
- Some experience with meteorological data formats (GRIB, NetCDF)

Challenge description
Why do we need a solution
Atmospheric Datasets Comparison (ADC) Toolbox is a set of Python tools that allows users to compare atmospheric composition datasets from different sources. We would like to improve the toolbox by making it more user friendly and by including additional data sources.
What could be the solution
Possible areas for improvements to the library:
- Development of interactive user interface to the toolbox, possibly using Jupyter widgets
- Extension of the toolbox to include additional data sources (C3S ozone records, ...)
- Integration with the Wekeo HDA API
We are inviting candidates to propose the specific topic that they would be interested to focus on and present how they would address the task.
