Date: 09/01/2024

The Dask tutorial on CryoCloud introduces parallelized cloud computing for geoscientists. Ellianna Abrahams walks us through an introduction to Dask, interacting with a huge image using Dask, and running custom functions on Dask + xarray, to make large computing projects manageable on a computer where memory is inadequate for the task. The notebook for this tutorial can be found at https://book.cryointhecloud.com/tutorials/dask_for_geoscientists.html.

CryoCloud (cryointhecloud.com; doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7576601) is maintained through a partnership between 2i2c (2i2c.org) and NASA Cryosphere research communities. This hub work made possible through funding from the NASA Transform to Open Science program, NASA Cryosphere program, and NASA ICESat-2 Science Team.
