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.

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-...

How to Visualize station daily rainfall data using CDT

Image
Introduction CDT is a free and open-source R package. It was developed as part of the Enhancing National Climate Services (ENACTS) initiative by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI), part of the Earth Institute at Columbia University.  We can use CDT to work with climate data such as visualize data in charts and maps. Following are the steps to visualize data in CDT. Step 1 - Open the data file in CDT We have to convert our data file into CDT data file to work with CDT. That file should be .csv file format. See this link below. http://fectdata.blogspot.com/2020/10/how-to-open-data-file-in-cdt.html Step 2 - Convert the data file into CDT file format There is a file format to work with CDT. Therefore we have to convert our station data file into CDT file format.  Use the following path to convert the file to CDT format.     -  Data Preparation → Format CDT input Station Data. Make the following settings in the dialog box that appears....
