Build collection of jupyter notebooks to illustrate each collector

[emiliom]

Over the last two years @ocefpaf, myself, and several others (via the ioos system integration test) have created a bunch of jupyter notebooks that use various pyoos collectors. It would help in documenting pyoos usage if we compiled (after some cleanup) these in a notebooks group here.

Off the top of my head, I can remember seeing existing notebooks (including my own) for these collectors:

• IoosSweSos
• NDBC
• COOPS
• NERRS
• HADS

That'd be a darn good start that hopefully will be fairly easy for a group of us to put together.

For reference, and to get the ball rolling a bit:

• IoosSweSos: https://www.wakari.io/sharing/bundle/emayorga/pyoos_ioos_sos_demo1 (an old notebook)
• NDBC:
  • https://github.com/emiliom/stuff/blob/master/pyoos_ndbc_demo.ipynb
  • https://github.com/ocefpaf/sscsw/blob/master/IOOS_data_demo.ipynb
• COOPS: @ocefpaf has a notebook or two
• NERRS: https://gist.github.com/emiliom/57e84aee123ca60c4fa3 (an old notebook, before my recent commits)
• HADS: https://gist.github.com/emiliom/35db17392c5d652faeb2 (an old notebook, before my 2014 commits)

COOPS: @ocefpaf has a notebook or two

I have this one:

We need to clean them up and make them consistent with each other. Region, filtering, text, etc. I am starting a branch with them.

@emiliom see #55

@ocefpaf, that was fast!! Maybe too fast ... for me at least. I see you added HADS and NERRS notebooks. I suggest you let me handle that, and I'll make sure the notebooks we use are up-to-date; as I noted, the ones I linked to were fairly old, and I listed them only to add tangible references/examples.

I'm in no hurry on this. I created this issue b/c the idea popped in my head then, and we've been talking about pyoos documentation. I can probably dedicate time to it next week, but not this week.

If your NDBC and COOPS notebooks are already consistent with each other, I'll use those as templates for my notebooks.

Sure. I just wanted to aggregate them into one place.

COOPS is ready to be reviewed. NDBC will be ready soon.

COOPS is ready to be reviewed. NDBC will be ready soon.

Cool! I don't think I'll review it until next week, unfortunately. FYI, my "pyoos time" this week will be focused on helping/prodding 😉 to get a pyoos release soon, and tracking issues with the IoosSweSos collector and 52North SOS that came up last week.

[ocefpaf]

get a pyoos release soon.

Let me know if I can help you with that.

@emiliom , can this be closed?

[emiliom]

@rsignell-usgs, well, I never got back to providing updated notebooks. But I won't do that in the next 3-4 weeks either. So, go ahead and close the issue for housekeeping if you'd like, and there's interest in updating notebooks if in the future, I can be pinged.
