Reproducible LMA research with the IPython notebook and brawl4d

This notebook demonstrates how to display data included in the lmatools repository.

If you haven't yet, process and view sample data included with lmatools

python ~/code/lmatools/testing/test_sklearn.py /path/to/output/files/

Then, edit the data_path in the second cell to include /path/to/output/files/ as defined above. Run all the cells prior to the "Charge Analysis" and try interacting with the plot. You should see some data.



In [1]:

    
import matplotlib
%matplotlib qt4
# import matplotlib
# matplotlib.use('nbagg')
#import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from brawl4d.brawl4d import B4D_startup, redraw
import os



In [2]:

    
data_path = '/data/DC3/flash_sort/'
lma_file = os.path.join(data_path, 'h5_files/2012/Jun/02/LYLOUT_120602_215001_0600.dat.flash.h5')

In the cell below, note that the basedate has been set to match the dataset we specified above.

If you are not using data from the WTLMA, then you'll also need to pass ctr_lon=value and ctr_lat=value to B4D_startup.

panels = B4D_startup(basedate=datetime(2012,6,2), ctr_lat=40.4463980, ctr_lon=-104.6368130)

Zoom in on a few cells of interest. The smaller, western and northern cells here are anomalously electrified, while the larger cluster is normally electrified.
