About the repo

This repo holds the code for my analysis of what the hottest villages in Kerala are. You can read the analysis on my blog here.

All the code you need to reproduce my results is in the jupyter notebook. But before you do anything, you will need to request an account at Microsoft's Planetary Computer.

Once that's done, you can upload the jupyter notebook to your Planetary Computer home directory and run it from there. (Another option is to store the notebook locally but have it run code remotely on the server. This is what I've been doing through Visual Studio Code.)

The notebook is heavily commented, so a coder with enough time should be able to read it from top to bottom, and understand atleast at a high level what's going on.

Essentially what I'm doing is requesting satellite data from Planetary Computer and NASA, mainly data relating to surface temperature, processing it and then analysing it.

Acknowledgments

Special thanks to the Open Data Kerala group, got my geojson of Kerala's administrative boundaries from their github repo.

Want to hire me?

Have a look at my website. If you like what I've done and think I could be of value to your company, email me at mail@shijith.com or message me on LinkedIn. I won't make sense for a full-fledged developer role, but if you have something that combines coding and longform writing, I'm definitely a good fit for that. Get in touch! :)
