# Weather and Climate Variability Graphics [![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/107888830.svg)](https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/107888830)

Repository contains all of the scripts used in making the figures within (https://zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-ice-figures/). Scripts are *not* intended to be the most efficient or simplest method of plotting and reading data. However, they work for their current purpose. Check back soon for new scripts and/or comments!

###### Under construction... ```[Python 3.6]```

## Description
+ ```bin/```: Shell scripts
+ ```Data/```: Additional data files not provided by Python URL functions
+ ```Examples/```: Arbitrary figures as examples from listed scripts
+ ```Figures/```: Output directory for figures produced by the scripts (intentionally empty)
+ ```Scripts/```: Main [Python](https://www.python.org/) scripts/functions used in data analysis and plotting. More details are provided in ```explainScripts.txt``` for each script and function.
+ ```Dockerfile```: Docker image manifest for building dependencies
+ ```requirements.txt```: List of environments and modules associated with the most recent version of this project. A Python [Anaconda3 Distribution](https://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/) was used for the analysis. Tools including [NCL 6.4.0](https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/), [CDO](https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/projects/cdo), and [NCO](http://nco.sourceforge.net/) were also used for initial data manipulation. [ImageMagick](https://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php) is used for most of the animations (GIF). All code has been tested with Python ```3.6```.

## Docker

###### Build image
Build an image containing all the dependencies by running `bin/build_image.sh`. Takes optional `VERSION` environment variable, defaults to 'latest'.
Designed to be used with a volume mount to the repository root so that scripts can be modified without rebuilding the image.

###### Run scripts in container
Once the image has been built run `bin/run_container.sh <script path>`. Also takes optional `VERSION` environment variable, defaults to 'latest'. Figures will be written to the local `Figures` directory.

Example: `bin/run_container.sh Scripts/Temperature/plot_ArcticTemperatures_Reanalysis.py`
