This gallery contains visualization examples from many plotting categories
of geosciences data.

Specifically, visualizations in this repository are intended to demonstrate Python ways of generating figures akin to the [NCL Application Examples website](https://ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/).

A primary objective of this project is to identify any NCL plotting functionality that is missing from
the popular Matplotlib + Cartopy toolchain, so each contributed script, if originating from NCL, should
contain a best-effort attempt at reproducing an NCL graphic as closely as possible without using NCL or PyNGL.

For visualization, mainly `matplotlib` and `cartopy` are used. In addition,
`geocat-datafiles <https://github.com/NCAR/geocat-datafiles>`_ is used as a
dataset storage and `geocat-viz <https://github.com/NCAR/geocat-viz>`_ is used for
