Andrew Dawson created a neat python module called gridfill. gridfill wraps a FORTRAN90 program that fills missing values in a grid by solving Poisson's equation using an iterative relaxation scheme. It is very similar o NCL's poisson_grid_fill.

Here is an example on how to use module.

Dan Kelley is one of those heroes that creates and maintain software libraries for oceanographers. His language of choice is R, I particularly do not like R syntax. I use it only when I have really have to.

However, R does have some amazing libraries, like Dan's oce package ...

The main differences are:

• Plot customization via **kw.

• Ensure that the user does not change the angles option to ...

I used gpxpy in a previous post to read and plot GPX files from smart-phones. Here I will show another module from the same author, Tomo Krajina, named srtm.py. This module reads SRTM files and extract the elevation data at the positions recorded in a GPX file. That is ...

This is a short but very useful post.

Zenodo and GitHub joined forces to create an easy way to make citable-code. You can generate a DOI with just 4 ...

This post is an exercise on how to explore GPX files. Most of what I did in this post learned from this tutorial.

Deep down the GPX file format is just a XML document text. They can be parsed with any XML parser out there, but the gpxpy module makes ...
