Data-Types-Wx

Reference for working with various Wx data types in Python specifically

Since I have spent most of my time dealing with weather data in Python, this repository will highlight basic data access via Python for data files:

• netCDF (.nc) - most common
• GRIB (.grib or .grib2) - most common
• HDF5 (.h5)
• BUFR
• AREA
• Fits (.fits) - Hubble Telescope Data

netCDF

One of the most common data file types for working with weather/atmospheric data is the .nc files

• GOES data usually is packaged in this format
• Some model data also is in this format

Gribs

• Most GFS and other models are in this format initially

HDF5

• A lot of other satellite data (MSG, etc) are origianlly in this format
