Introduction
bmi_dbseabed package (https://github.com/gantian127/bmi_dbseabed) provides a set of functions that allows downloading of the dataset from dbSEABED (https://instaar.colorado.edu/~jenkinsc/dbseabed/), a system for marine substrates datasets across the globe.
bmi_dbseabed package also includes a Basic Model Interface (BMI), which converts the dbSEABED datasets into a reusable, plug-and-play data component for the PyMT modeling framework developed by Community Surface Dynamics Modeling System (CSDMS).
Classroom organization In this lab, you will learn how to use the bmi_dbseabed package to download the marine substrates dataset (e.g., carbonate) for data visualization.
Learning objectives Skills
Learn to use an application programming interface (API) to access dbSEABED data.
Learn to use Basic Model Interface to access dbSEABED data and metadata.
Key concepts
CSDMS Data Component
Lab notes This lab can be run on the lab (for educators) and jupyter (for general use) instances of the OpenEarthscape JupyterHub: just click one of the links under the Run online using heading at the top of this page, then run the notebook in the "CSDMS" kernel.
