Open Radar Short Course (Hybrid)

The course will discuss the principles of open science and provide an overview of the most mature and exciting open-source software packages available for radar data processing. It will have a hands-on approach and the students will be able to use the software packages themselves.

The first part of the day will focus on getting an overview of the ecosystem, followed by package-specific tutorials. The second half of the day will focus on common tools for more-specific data analysis, such as deriving three-dimensional wind fields or tracking features, all using open source packages. Anyone with interest in using or developing open source software tools is welcome.
