Atmospheric Composition Dataset Explorer

The goal of this project was to create an API and an interactive application that generate atmospheric composition diagnostics plots according to user specifications. The data source is the CAMS Atmosphere Data Store, specifically the GUI application shall deal with CAMS Greenhouse Gas Fluxes and CAMS Global Reanalysis EAC4 datasets.

The application automatized the process of creating frequently used time series, hovmoeller and geospatial plots for parameters such as spatial and temporal domains, time resolution and atmospheric variables.

The ideal outcome would be to provide generic enough APIs which can be used for data retrieval, data homogenization, data slicing and sub-setting, aggregation and visualization of different CAMS datasets; also, it shall be generic enough that adding new plot types won’t be too difficult. We also provided a GUI for easy generation of a report based on parameters selected by the user.
