This repository contains the codes used to process the data and make the figures present in the research article:

Local wind regime induced by giant linear dunes: comparison of ERA5 re-analysis with surface measurements

Note:

• the documentation can be found here
• the corresponding data are available here:

Repository organisation

Briefly, the repository is organized as follow:

• Paper: article source files (.tex + figures in .pdf)
• Paper_figure: codes used to produce the paper figures
• Processing: codes used to process the raw data, and generate the processed data used as input for the codes in Paper_figure.
• python_codes: python codes functions used in the codes present in Paper_figure and Processing
• docs: contain the documentation presenting all of this.

If you want to have an overview of the article and associated codes

The best is to read the article, and then to have a look at the documentation of the repository. You can find it in docs/_build/html, or simply here.

If you want to run the codes and re-do the analysis

1. clone/download the whole repository on your computer.
2. download the data here (will be uploaded soon), and unzip it in static/ to have the following directory tree:

static

└───data
│   │ AUTHORS.txt

│   │   │   ...
│   │
│   └───processed_data
│   │   │   ...

3. run any python codes you want directly from the repository where it is

Note: You may need to install additional python libraries to do so.
