6. Example notebooks

tobac is provided with a set of Jupyter notebooks that show examples of the application of tobac for different types of datasets.

The notebooks can be found in a separate repository:

https://github.com/climate-processes/tobac-tutorials

The necessary input data for these examples is avaliable on zenodo: www.zenodo.org/… and can be downloaded automatically by the Jupyter notebooks.

The examples currently include four different applications of tobac: 1. Tracking of scattered convection based on vertical velocity and condensate mixing ratio for 3D cloud-resolving model output. 2. Tracking of scattered convection based on surface precipitation from the same cloud-resolving model output 3. Tracking of convective clouds based on outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) for convection-permitting model simulation output 4. Tracking of convective clouds based on OLR in geostationary satellite retrievals.
