Using Python Scripts to work on Gdrive via Google Co-Lab


I was looking for a way to copy shared folders in gdrive.
Google requires you to download first and then copy - which is of course lot of work and lot of
broadband DATA
- someone suggested you could do this through 
google colab.


  1. Create a new Google Colaboratory Notebook
  2. Mount your Google Drive
    from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/gdrive')
  3. Copy via shell
    !cp -r '/gdrive/My Drive/src/.' '/gdrive/My Drive/dest'

I just had exactly the same issue. And I copied everything successfully via this open-source service: https://github.com/ericyd/gdrive-copy
After you finish your copy, do remember to revoke your granted permission to this app.

How to open a data file in CDT

Image
  The Climate Data Tool The Climate Data Tool (CDT) is a free, open source R package created specifically for national meteorological services. CDT allows national meteorological agencies to: Organize millions of station observations Assess data availability and highlight gaps in the observational record Assess and correct data-quality issues Combine station observations with proxies such as satellite rainfall and climate model reanalysis products in order to fill temporal and spatial gaps in the observational record Evaluate gridded products, including satellite, reanalysis and combined data products Extract data from gridded products, including satellite, reanalysis and combined data products, at any point, for selected a box, for any administrative boundary Analyze and visualize station and gridded dataset     To open files  (.csv / .txt)   in CDT      File should be in this format              ...

Extracting Data points using Get Data Graph Digitizer

Image
GetData Graph Digitizer is open source software for digitizing graphs and plots. It is often necessary to obtain original (x,y) data from graphs, e.g. from scanned scientific plots, when data values are not available. GetData Graph Digitizer allows to easily get the numbers in such cases. Digitizing is a four step process: open a graph, set the scale (coordinate system), digitize (automatically or manually), and copy data to the clipboard, or export to TXT, XLS, XML, DXF or EPS file. Main features of GetData Graph Digitizer are: supported graphics formats are TIFF, JPEG, BMP and PCX; two algorithms for automatic digitizing; convenient manual digitizing; reorder tool for easy points reordering; save/open workspace, which allows to save the work and return to it later; obtained data can be copied to the clipboard; export to the formats: TXT (text file), XLS (MS Excel), XML, DXF (AutoCAD) and EPS (PostScript). More details are available at:  http://getdata-graph-...
