Most of the visualization elements, as well as the date player are in his observable notebook.
When updates are made to the notebook they can be embedded in the site using these commands
curl -o bs.tgz "https://api.observablehq.com/d/0b936d79280ee3bd.tgz?v=3"
tar -C src/buoyviz -xvzf bs.tgz
The buoy data is loaded directly in the observable notebook via api.
The images are created in a github action which downloads and processes netcdf files from NOAA. The dxadatata is updated daily so the action runs daily to include yesterday's data. It is not uncommon for the NOAA data not to be updated for a few days, especially the MHW category data. Currently the python script only looks for yesterday's files but it could be improved to look for any recent days where there wasn't data available.
