This project seeks to enhance your current skillset by instructing you on how to create visualizations using satellite data. To initiate this project, you will learn how to use Siphon to browse through the THREDDS Data Server (TDS) catalog and locate satellite data. Next, you will parse the data using Siphon and employ the XArray accessor to retrieve the remote data. The subsequent section will cover how to use CartoPy and matplotlib to produce unique plots. After this, you’ll be prepared to complete some more sophisticated tasks like generating interactive and animated plots.
