Getting help with Python scientific software workflows

March 1, 2023

Researchers who need assistance with their Python scientific software workflows are welcome to schedule office hours appointments with NCAR’s Earth System Data Science (ESDS) experts. To see who is available and schedule an initial 30-minute appointment, anyone needing help can visit the ESDS Office Hours page. Office hours are intended as opportunities to ask questions like:

  • Can you help me understand this error I'm getting? 
  • Can you help me figure out why I'm getting unexpected results? 
  • I am trying to do X, but I'm not sure if my software is efficient. Can you help?

The ESDS initiative aims to increase the effectiveness of the NCAR/UCAR workforce and serve the university community by transforming how geoscientists synthesize and extract information from large, diverse data sets. When scheduling an appointment, you will be asked to provide a description of your issue and any relevant context. In addition, please provide the file path to the code you want assistance with or a minimally verifiable example to get the most out of your appointment time.
