We are interested in the study of meteorological data from the Geneva Observatory in Switzerland. More specifically, we are interested in the temporal evolution of the average temperature from 1901 to now. We aim to model the evolution of the mean temperature, in order to see if we can observe a significant increasing trend in it. In particular, we use various Python visualisation tools to allow an intuitive interactive framework. The dataset that we use for data analysis can be found here.
Within the statistical data analysis we make, we aim at answering a set of specific questions :
- Can we make predictions on certain meteorological features, such as mean temperature ?
- Can we establish a link (correlation and causality) between various meteorological features, such as precipitation and mean temperature ?
- Can we predict the behavior of a single meteorological feature based on the data of several other correlated features ?
Use the following command lines to create and use venv python package:
sudo make
This will install the virtual environment and the dependencies you need for the project.
To activate the virtual environment:
source venv/bin/activate
You can stop the environment by running:
deactivate
You can launch the Streamlit web application with the following commands. First, open a shell/terminal and go to the directory in which you saved the project - for example :
cd Desktop/levelset/zigzag
Then, go directly to the source code with
cd src
Finally, type the command below in your shell and enjoy the app!
