We're super excited about geovista ... but we're even more excited to find out who's using geovista and how you're using it.

Do you have any lush eye candy that you'd 💚 to share with the community? Be it a static plot or an animation, poster or scientific paper?

Consider this a safe space to really go to town and showcase what you're proud and excited about!

Please feel free to add links to your repo, academic journal or paper, app, website or gist etc. This space is your space to share and promote your work.

Go for it!

Show us what you've got 🤩

To start the ball rolling, I'll re-post the figure I made for my paper on terrestrial exoclimate simulations, which was also the first citation of geovista in an academic paper (yay! 🎉).

Another paper where geovista was particularly useful: Sergeev et al. (2024), ApJ, DOI:10.3847/1538-4357/ad4ecd. With geovista, I was easily able to visualise my simulations that used a stretched mesh.

Thanks @dennissergeev! This is amazing!

We're so excited to see geovista already used in published scientific papers. Simply incredible! Congrats on bagging the first academic citation of geovista 🏆

I totally ❤️ the stretched-mesh cloud cover and temperature renders above (Bonus figure B). Just gorgeous 😍

[dennissergeev]

No, thank you for creating such a great package! 😊

I've loved using Geovista for a variety of projects (albeit outreach and teaching related so far). Recently I've been automatically processing GEFS weather forecast data and making interactive plots of the variables with geovista:
E.g.:

I've also used geovista to make animations of these fields, e.g.:
https://gefs-geovista-plot-website.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/gefs_zarr_store/gefs.20230707/00/atmos/pgrb2ap5/pwat_000_384.mp4

I've mostly used these as demonstrations during my teaching sessions at the University of Exeter and in outreach sessions with school groups, and I'm hoping to use it for some upcoming work I'm doing looking at GCM modelling of Jupiter (a bit like @dennissergeev's Jupiters, but colder!).

Thanks so much for making this brilliant package!

@sit23 Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing and using geovista! 🤩

Really looking forward to seeing your work on modelling Jupiter 💯

I want to share a pyvista example of Hunga-Tonga eruption in our ESM SOCOLv4 (see for details here). I hope I will be able to translate it using Geovista in the future.

[bjlittle]

Ohhh really lovely work @kuchaale !

Thanks for sharing 🤩
