CEDAR email: InGeO Resen v2020.1.0: Includes new geospace Python libraries and tutorials

[Asti Bhatt]

Dear colleagues,

A new version of the Reproducible Software Environment (Resen) was 
released just before CEDAR with several updates and new libraries. The 
full list of added software and functionality are available here. 
<https://resen-core.readthedocs.io/en/v2020.2.0/#changelog>

*Some highlights:*

1. *ESA Swarm data analysis suite*: The open-source /viresclient/ 
<https://github.com/ESA-VirES/VirES-Python-Client> that gives the users 
access to ESA's Swarm satellite data and analysis toolkit can be now 
accessed through Resen.

2. *SuperDARN data analysis and visualization*: /pydarn/ 
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/SuperDARN/pydarn__;!!Nv3xtKNH_4uope0!2FP0tEFrI5ZM0EaisPzYjlUIMcXPm6OljRk_qrquX9-0B_lFRergCtaCyHnPYA$> 
has replaced now deprecated /DaViTpy/ as the primary community package 
for analyzing SuperDARN data. This version of Resen replaces /DaViTpy/ 
with /pydarn/.

3. *Plasma physics software*: /plasmapy/ 
<https://docs.plasmapy.org/en/stable/index.html> is a 
community-developed and a community-driven open source software toolset 
for educational and research needs in plasma physics.

4. *ICON data tutorial*: As the data from the ICON satellite start to 
become available, the ICON team has developed a data tutoria 
<https://github.com/YJWu-SSL/ICON_Data_Demo>l for how to access and 
analyze the data, which Resen users can access from the Tutorials 
directory.

5. *Software citation generator*: /citationhelper/ 
<https://github.com/EarthCubeInGeo/citationhelper>, an easy to use 
utility that allows the users to generate citations for the software 
used to produce a specific result, developed by the InGeO team.

6. *Interactive pylab widget:* For data visualization, this widget 
<https://github.com/matplotlib/ipympl> in the JupyterLab interface gives 
user a way to use full functionality of matplotlib, including zooming in 
the plots within the notebooks.

These updates are available both for online Resen (use it by signing up 
here <https://ingeo.datatransport.org/v3/login>) and downloadable resen 
(available here 
<https://github.com/EarthCubeInGeo/resen/tree/v2020.1.0>). If you're not 
familiar with geospace Python software, or Python, tutorials are 
available in both versions of Resen to get your started.

Please reach out to the InGeO team at ingeo-team at ingeo.datatransport.org 
with any questions or feel free to report an issue on the Resen GitHub 
page <https://github.com/EarthCubeInGeo/resen/tree/v2020.1.0>. Please 
also send us suggestions for community software and functionality you 
would like to see in future Resen versions.

Thank you,

The InGeO team

Ashton Reimer, Leslie Lamarche, Pablo Reyes, Todd Valentic, and Asti Bhatt
