Welcome to the Reflective Cloud Hub

Welcome to the Reflective Cloud Hub#


What We Are#

A community hub for open-source and reproducible Solar Radiation Management (SRM) research.

This Jupyter Book accompanies the Reflective Cloud Hub - a Jupyter notebook server providing free compute power in a Pangeo Python environment on cloud computing resources, available to the SRM research community.

Our mission is to support the SRM research community by:

  • Reducing duplication of effort across analyses and workflows

  • Lowering barriers to accessing data and cloud compute resources

  • Improving reproducibility and transparency in computational research

  • Fostering open, collaborative development of methods and results

The Cloud Hub is located at: https://reflective.2i2c.cloud/


πŸ” Getting Access#

Access is controlled via membership of the Reflective Cloud Hub GitHub organisation.

Please fill out the access form here if you would like to get access to the Hub. We will get back to you as soon as we can.

For a quick guide to starting up your server - see this video.


🀝 Community Contributions#

Both the Cloud Hub and this website are under development. We would love contributions of:

  • Code examples and workflows

  • Information and documentation

  • Resources and datasets

  • Feedback and suggestions


This book contains:

  • An overview of the Cloud Hub

  • Best practices for using the platform

  • A directory of the SAI datasets accessible from the Cloud Hub

  • A directory of the notebook tutorials hosted on the Cloud Hub

  • Resource guides and documentation

  • Community-contributed content


Welcome to the Cloud Hub community! We’re excited to have you join us in advancing SRM research. 🌍✨
