Develop the outputs to be more useful

[agstephens]

Need to know:

• how to use baseline time period
• how to use colour maps
• other input requirements
• what the outputs should look like

Hi @agstephens - here you go! Think this should be clearer now :) also included some other thoughts (indicated by normal bullets) that don't need to be actioned yet, just there for info. Let me know if anything is unclear!

Output requirements (as a PDF or zip file):

• Metadata - Description of what data was used, where for, time period
• Image (png preferably) of warming stripes using the basic colour scale
• Temperature colour chart - List of colours used and the range of temp data that relates to them E.g. Colour 1 = less than 0 degrees, Colour 2 = 5-10 degrees
• List/Table of each year indicating which corresponding colour code number to use (maybe also include the temp value?)
• Citation asking people to mention us/a webpage if sharing their creation anywhere
• Link to the webpage where we provide further information E.g. share images of people’s projects, additional tips/instructions.

Input options for WPS - for person only interested in click and go:

• map of UK where to click
• Choose how many colours you want
• Pick which colours you want. (copy in list of RGB values - or select from drop down of colour schemes)

Other thoughts:
Creation methods for different audiences/uses:

• Jupyter notebook (that be run anywhere online) - just pure code with minimal comments, for anyone who already knows about coding
• A JASMIN notebook with detailed comments explaining what the code is doing - I want to create this so that we can use it as a demonstration/tutorial of how to use our different services in combination.
• WPS - a click and go interface that doesn't require any prior knowledge about climate data

Supplementary materials - that promote it/explain why this is useful (high resolution, uses open data, etc):

• help documentation
• blog post
• CEDA website page
