Julia script originally written during the EISCAT radar school 2024, to plot data from EISCAT ISR.

The script to run is the one named load_and_plot.jl.

Can read .hdf5 data downloaded from Madrigal or produced directly by GUISDAP.

How to run

1. If not already done, install Julia (instructions)
2. Download the repository, either with git or as a .zip
3. The first time you run the code, you will need to initialize the environment. You can read how packages and environments work in Julia here and there. Here are some quick instructions:
   • Start Julia from inside the folder where the code was installed
   • Move into package mode by pressing ] on your keyboard
   • Activate the local environment with the command activate .

   julia> # here press `]` to enter package mode
   (@v1.11) pkg> activate .
     Activating project at `~/Documents/Julia/EISCAT_radar_school`
   (EISCAT_radar_school) pkg> 

   • Now instantiate the environment with the command instantiate. This will download and install the packages that are required for the script to work.

   (EISCAT_radar_school) pkg> instantiate

4. There are different ways to run code in Julia. One of them is to launch the script with this command

   julia> include("load_and_plot.jl")
