Sample Data¶
Verde provides some sample data and ways of generating synthetic data through
the verde.datasets module.
Warning
All sample datasets in Verde are deprecated and will be removed in Verde v2.0.0. The tutorials/examples will transition to using Ensaio instead.
Where are my data files?¶
The sample data files are downloaded automatically by pooch the first
time you load them. The files are saved to the default cache location on your
operating system. The location varies depending on your system and
configuration. We provide the verde.datasets.locate function if you
need to find the data storage location on your system.
You can change the base data directory by setting the VERDE_DATA_DIR
environment variable to the desired path.
Available datasets¶
These are the datasets currently available. Most also come with a companion function for setting up a Cartopy map to display the data.
