UE Microwave Remote Sensing (120.030)

These are the hand-outs and exercises of the Master course Microwave Remote Sensing (120.030) at the TU Wien.

A guide for creating the notebooks and the environments in JupiterHub can be found in the file JupyterHub_Guide.qmd.

Generate Jupyter Conda environment and Jupyter Kernel from yml

To re-create the environment as a Jupyter kernel for execution of the notebooks, do the following:

• Open a Terminal from the same level as this Markdown README file.
• Type the following into the terminal.

make kernel

Select the kernel with the equivalent name as the .ipynb notebook to execute the notebook. For example, 01_lecture.ipynb requires the kernel 01_lecture for execution of the code blocks.

Clean-up

To remove Jupyter checkpoints run:

make clean

In order to remove the Conda environments and Jupyter kernels run:

make teardown

Developing

Commit notebooks without output for smaller file sizes and interactive teaching. For convenience use nbstripout to clean notebooks, like so:

pip install nbstripout
nbstripout **/*.ipynb

Check you code for correct syntax as we want to show off good practices. You can use flake8-nb to check your writing.

pip install flake8-nb
flake8-nb **/*.ipynb

The pre-commit hooks can be used to check whether outputs are empty. This can be achieved, like so:

pip install pre-commit
pre-commit install
