Data Science Example: Climate Data Extraction

USFS’s NorWEST stream temperature database – stream observational locations in the western Washington/Seattle region.

In the Python Jupyter notebook below, data from two distinct sources are used:

1) stream temperature observational locations, taken from the USFS NorWEST regional stream temperature database, and;

2) gridded climate data from the University of Idaho’s GridMET team (led by Dr.  John Abatzoglou).

Our goal:  to extract climate data from a particular time frame, for JUST the locations where stream temperature observations were made.
