Description:
Land Use and Vertical Velocity Analysis
This project involves analyzing land use types and vertical velocity data using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model outputs. The aim is to visualize the distribution and extent of different land cover types and the vertical velocity (W component) in forest and non-forest areas.

This folder consists of the following files:
    1. .yml environment file
        -> This conda environment contains all of the dependencies needed to complete the analysis.

    2. The Jupyter notebook containing the python code
        -> Explains the type of analysis needed to further the research. It will guide you through the detailed step-by-step explanations. 

    3. The WRF data that contains only the variables being used (Lane Use Index, Reflectivity, and Verical Velocity)
        ->The dataset needed to complete the analysis. It is read in at the start of the script.
