Instructions to set up on your own machine

Prerequisite: You will need an installation of Python 3.6+ with recent versions of numpy, matplotlib, pandas, scipy, jupyter. Anaconda is the recommended way to install all this. Once you have that, you should be able to download or clone the materials, and run the Jupyter Notebooks locally, e.g. on a Linux machine you could use:

git clone https://github.com/wb-bgs/EdUniGeomagTutorials.git ./GeomagTutorials
cd GeomagTutorials
jupyter notebook

Based on material from the IAGA Summer School 2019

These tutorials are based on https://github.com/MagneticEarth/IAGA_SummerSchool2019

Materials for the workshop on magnetic observatories and modelling. Tutorials are written in Python as Jupyter Notebooks and can be found in the notebooks directory.
