Ocean Hackathon 2026 Agenda

ESA

Suggested Hackathon Workflow

  1. Pick a science question, user workflow or define your own.

  2. Browse the dataset catalogue and open the relevant access notebooks.

  3. Use the existing datasets and cube to answer the question

  4. Use the file-format notebooks as guidence when you need to prepare a new datasets to be added to be combined with the existing datasets or cube.

  5. Put your code in Hackathon Code/ and keep generated data out of Git.

  6. Submit your work as a pull request with a short description of the question, datasets, methods, and outputs.
