Data Viz Projects

Michigan Climate & Weather Data Viz (LINK)

This is a project I did on visualizing and detecting climate change using monthly weather data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), from 1900 until today. I scraped and cleaned data from the NOAA API using Python, then used various GIS Python packages (cartopy, geopy) as well as Tableau to get some nice images.

There are more than 1,000 NOAA stations in Michigan; to get county-level readings, I averaged data taken at all stations in a given county. Stations report their FIPS code (a three-digit code that uniquely identifies the county).

Right now, the data displayed is rainfall data by county; in the future, I plan to add other types of measurements.
