Workshop "Leveraging MATLAB to Access, Analyze, and Disseminate Climate Data and Workflows"

Overview: In this workshop, we will demonstrate how to use MATLAB to access, process, visualize and share global climate (precipitation) data from the WCRP CMIP6 database. The workflow will cover topics such as exploring and importing open data centralized in popular databases (NASA, ECMWF, USGS etc), filtering and manipulating data in various formats, performing statistical analysis, mapping and visualizing the results. Finally, we will cover different ways of making results open and accessible for the community including reviewers in keeping with FAIR standards. An example that will be demonstrated is published in GitHub, more information can be found in the README file.

Highlights:

- Work with freely available popular global climate data.
- Use MATLAB tools to interactively analyze and visualize data in various ways.
- Make results open and accessible to the community.
- Who Should Attend

This workshop is for researchers in all stages of their careers, from student to experienced professors, who want to make their results open and accessible for the community by following FAIR principles.
