Notebook from the Earthcube-supported DRILSDOWN project¶

This is a DRILSDOWN project notebook, capturing images from an IDV analysis. To reproduce or operate this Jupyter notebook, you need to have installed The IDV, Anaconda, and set up a few necessary things for the DRILSDOWN package, as explained at https://unidata.github.io/drilsdown/quickstart
