File Io
Homework 5
A close look at the Keeling Curve Accurately measuring CO$_2$ in the atmosphere requires lots of effort and support. It is unfortunate that there were years without financial support in the early period of this program and David Keeling couldn’t make measurements. This is shown in the dataset! You can see that some of the entries of CO$_2$ concentration are $-99.99$. Considering that this dataset contains concentration values, the negative entry doesn’t make sense. »
Dealing with real data
The atmospheric and oceanic sciences (AOS) are “data” intensive fields, whether data refers to observations or model output. Most of the analysis we do involve datasets, and so facilities for file input/output (i/o) are critical. Fortunately, Python has very robust facilities for file i/o, and we will be dealing with realistic datasets using Python. Data in the text file Some data is not too big and stored in the text file. »
