We are interested in understanding the monthly variation in precipitation in Gainesville, FL. We'll use some data from the NOAA National Climatic Data Center.
Start by downloading [the data]({{ site.baseurl }}/data/gainesville-precip.csv) and saving it in the same directory as your homework script. Each row of this data file is a year (from 1961-2013) and each column is a month (January-December).
Rearrange the following program so that it:
- Imports the necessary modules
- Imports the data
- Calculates the average precipitation in each month across years
- Plots the monthly averages as simply line plot
plt.plot(monthly_mean_ppt)
import numpy as np
monthly_mean_ppt = ppt_data.mean(axis=0)
ppt_data = np.loadtxt("gainesville-precip.csv", delimiter=',')
plt.show()
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
