This repository is intended to include various oceanography-based class activities that I've designed as part of the Moana Project
. In the future, I plan to add additional class material.
The "Opotiki class" Jupyter notebook creates figures for year 9-10 students to practice creating contour and quiver plots using ocean temperature and current velocity. Currently designed for Aotearoa New Zealand students. It also creates "answer" figures to discuss with the class after they do the activity.
Requires access to MetService's 28-year ocean hindcast: https://www.moanaproject.org/hindcast or could be edited for use with other hydrodynamic ocean model output.
Original code base developed as part of the Moana Project. The Moana Project was funded by the New Zealand Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment (MBIE) Endeavour Fund.
