Sydney_Energy_Workshop_2025

This repository comprises notebooks for the workshop related to using weather and climate data for energy research.

Getting Started

The notebooks cover:

• accessing the cmip6 dataset from different data sources.
• accessing regional climate data (rcm) from Australia from NCI.
• plotting key variables from the cmip6 and rcm dataset.

Testing the code

You can run the code in these notebooks on your own machine without downloading any of the requirements using binder. Note - the code will be much slower on binder than on your own machine.

Requirements

Clone this repository into your local directory.

git clone https://github.com/abhnil/Sydney_Energy_Workshop.git
cd Sydney_Energy_Workshop

Install and activate the virtual environment cmip6env to run the notebooks using Python 3.

python3 -m venv cmip6env
source cmip6env/bin/activate

Install the requirements.txt file

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt
