Big news from #Lexcube! 🌍 We have released Lexcube for Jupyter, an open-source Jupyter notebook extension that allows everyone to visualize their own 3D data as interactive data cubes - as easy as plotting a 2D figure! https://t.co/3Gu6X4fSaK ⤵️🧵

On my way to EGU, with a stash full of data cubes 🚄🧊🌏 #Train2EGU Find me Tuesday 11:50am in room 0.51 for a presentation on Lexcube for Jupyter in session ESSI4.4 and get a free DIY data cube ✂️🎉 Thanks to my co-authors @dmlmont @MiguelDMahecha and @ESA_EO for the funding!

📝For more details, also refer to our Lexcube paper @ https://t.co/FLXDDYUt6l Thanks to @ESA_EO for the new funding and @NFDI4Earth for the initial funding! And thanks to my co-authors @MiguelDMahecha @dmlmont and Gerik Scheuermann!

👆 Interacting with the data cube is as intuitive as on https://t.co/oQwoWhhYHG: You can use touch gestures, your mouse or even sliders to interact with the 3D data selection that is visualized in your data cube.

🎁 Any 3D gridded data set that is either an Xarray or Numpy object can be loaded. You can even load data that is not even spatiotemporal, as long as it has any 3 dimensions, e.g., 2D spatial data with pressure level as the 3rd dimension, like this: https://t.co/VTLmTmvcpG

Great progress @m_soechting in his PhD @Rsc4Earth @UniLeipzig ! Initially paid by @NFDI4Earth @dfg_public and now secured via the @EarthSystemDataLab @ESA_EO! If you are in Frascati, come and interact with big data at the coffee sessions! We wait for you ...

Thanks to @ESA_EO for the funding via @EarthSysDataLab #DeepESDL, @dfg_public via @nfdi4earth and looking forward to working with @HCEL_Ghent @isp_uv_es via the @belspo #HERMES project in the near future! 🚀

And a teaser of what's to come, visualizing many cubes at once and exploring 3D cubes directly in Jupyter workbooks! Many promising future #Lexcube developments for 2023 and 2024 🪄

Another important part of Lexcube and its fast, interactive performance is the employed compression algorithm, i.e. ZFP by @lindstrometer @Livermore_Comp, and further optimizations - unfortunately not all the details could fit in due to the space constraints of the paper!

With the client-server architecture and tile-based system, including a highly efficient pre-generation routine, it is possible to serve many visualization clients at the same time, with minimal perceived user latency.

https://t.co/0QoWpGm75P allows to visualize and explore terabytes of remote sensing and modeling data interactively - all in the web browser and even on phones and tablets. With the backend utilizing @xarray_dev, any gridded zarr and NetCDF data set can be visualized!

Very happy to announce that our #Lexcube paper got accepted at IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications! 🎉 Thanks to my co-authors @dmlmont @MiguelDMahecha and Gerik Scheuermann! 🔗 https://t.co/FLXDDYUt6l @ieeecga #EOchat #GISchat #RemoteSensing #DataViz

🔥 Also various bug fixes and performance improvements! AND #Lexcube now gets new funding by @ESA_EO! Thanks to @NFDI4Earth for the kickstart! Try it out ➡️ https://t.co/oQwoWhhYHG! Paper with co-authors @dmlmont @MiguelDMahecha from the @RSC4Earth coming soon!

🎁 New Data Sets: four sun-induced fluorescence data sets (as part of the ESDC 3) as well as two ERA5 specific humidity data cubes. Explore specific humidity also by its pressure level in the 3D cube (replacing time as the third dimension)!

🔍 Anomalies: for each parameter, you can now visualize their anomalies! Simply select the respective option in the parameter drop down.

What’s new? ✂️ Paper Cubes: make your own paper cube from any selection and data set! Simply click the printer button, print out the template and cut & glue your own paper cube! High-quality paper recommended 📸

Major update from #Lexcube! 🌎🔍You can now explore anomalies, ✂️make your own paper cube, and 🎁check out the new sun-induced fluorescence and specific humidity data sets at➡️ https://t.co/oQwoWhhYHG! @CopernicusECMWF @ECMWF @CopernicusEU ⤵️🧵

This week, my PhD project #Lexcube was featured in Mitteldeutsche Zeitung and on the radio station @mephisto976 🤩 (both in German) 👉 https://t.co/IXfok5V20M (from ~34:40)

Really happy and honored to have my PhD project #Lexcube featured by my university on their website and social media! 🤩

Last-minute data cube crafting for today's #EGU23 presentation on #Lexcube! Be sure to visit PICO spot 2 today at 14:00-15:45 to get to know the science behind https://t.co/oQwoWhhYHG and get your own Lexcube sticker! @EuroGeosciences @Rsc4Earth
