Open Source Weather Radar Software This course will take place on October 9th 2016, right before the ERAD 2016 conference. We will introduce the participants to community software packages designed for radar data processing, mainly
Py-ART,
BALTRAD, and
wradlib.
These tools can be controlled by using Python, so we'll feature a quick intro to the Python programming language, and endow participants with the basics of how to contribute to community software. For the course, we will provide a
platform-independent virtual machine that contains all the required software, data and other course materials.
