Simon `Firesphere` Erkelens
Born Dutch, after a long stint as web developer, I went in to a new direction and started working with Python on Raspberry Pis, as well as integrating several APIs in to other applications.
Building new things, rebuilding old things, recreating things, anything IT related, I'll have a go at.
And if it's electronics and hardware related, I'll happily give it a try too!
Session
In meteorology and geosciences, the use of GRIB files is a common occurrence. GRIB files are binary blobs of data that contain "lines" of 2 dimensional information about the weather and forecasts.
Every meteorological service deals with these files in a different way. For the New Zealand MetService, we must manipulate them (using Python, of course), to match the local systems. In this talk I'll cover what libraries are best for this process, and how they can be used to get the right data in the right files.
