8️⃣ Used IrfanView to batch-rename frames into frame_0001, frame_0002, etc. (Preferred format for Adobe Premiere Pro) 🔢
9️⃣ Used Adobe Premiere Pro to create the frame animation and export an MP4 🎬

📊 107 GB
🧰 4 softwares
📁 ~6,000 files later…...an animation was born! 5/5

4️⃣ Developed script # 3 to batch-export each NetCDF to its own PNG, plus all base layers as a single PNG 📤
5️⃣ Batch-imported all PNGs into Adobe Photoshop 📷
6️⃣ Added text, labels, and a legend in Photoshop ✏️
7️⃣ Developed script # 4 to batch-export each frame with text and legend applied 📤
4/5

Here’s the workflow I used to create this animation 👇

1️⃣ Developed script # 1 with an LLM to automatically download ~800 NetCDF files from the web 💻
2️⃣ Developed script # 2 to batch-load all NetCDFs (with a specific layer) into QGIS 🗺️
3️⃣ Symbolized the layers 🎨 3/5

Since getting laid off in October, I’ve been using some unexpected downtime to focus on professional development and add new skills to my resume

One area I really wanted to improve on was getting more comfortable automating repetitive tasks through coding, with the help of large language model 2/5

World's buildings mapped for the first time in high-resolution 3D map Technical University of Munich researchers have just unveiled GlobalBuildingAtlas, a new 3D map that captures every building on the planet.

This is pretty cool.

I wonder how this might be used to do better climate work — e.g., for addressing emissions linked to buildings, and mapping infrastructure for climate adaptation work?
