Pythia Cookbooks provide example workflows on more advanced and domain-specific problems developed by the Pythia community. Click each card below to see its cookbook. Cookbooks build on top of skills you learn in Pythia Foundations,you can learn about cookbooks here.

Kerchunk Cookbook
Kerchunk provides cloud-friendly access to archival data. With Kerchunk you can read collections of legacy file formats (NetCDF, GRIB2 etc.) as if they were ARCO (Analysis-Ready Cloud-Optimized) formats such as Zarr, without creating a copy of the original dataset.

Earth Observation Data Science Cookbook
Earth Observation Data Science Cookbook provides training material centered around Earth Observation data while honoring the Pangeo Philosophy. The examples used in the notebooks represent some of the main research lines of the Remote Sensing Unit at the Department of Geodesy and Geoinformation at the TU Wien (Austria). In addition, the content familiarizes the reader with the data available at the EODC (Earth Observation Data Centre For Water Resources Monitoring) as well as the computational resources to process large amounts of data.

Ocean Biogeochemistry Cookbook
This Project Pythia Cookbook covers working with various sources of ocean biogeochemistry data, including Community Earth System Model (CESM) output and observational data. It provides a brief introduction to some metrics important to ocean biogeochemistry, from physical quantities like temperature to biological quantities like plankton biomass. It also demonstrates some of the data science techniques used to work with this information, and provides an introduction to the relationship between modeled and observational estimates.

About Pythia Cookbooks

Cookbooks are created from Jupyter Notebooks that we strive to binderize so each Cookbook can be executed in the cloud with a single click from your browser, but in some instances executing a Cookbook will require running the notebooks locally.

Interested in contributing a new Cookbook or contributing to an existing Cookbook? Great! Please see the Project Pythia Cookbook Contributor’s Guide, and consider opening a discussion under the Project Pythia category of the Pangeo Discourse.

To learn how the Pythia Cookbook Infrastructure works: See the developer documentation. This includes how this gallery is built, how to add your own cookbook to it, and the underlying tech stack we use.
