[OC] One year in life of ocean eddies
There is not really much to it, really. Everything is done in python, with use of standard libraries, of which probably most important in this case is cartopy https://scitools.org.uk/cartopy/docs/latest/ This is the latest cartopy tutorial I was able to find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivmd3RluMiw
- [OC] This animation shows how the amount of daylight throughout the year changes based on Latitude. Made with Python and the matplotlib library.

Is there a good library for creating maps and altering them according to data?
Cartopy is a great lib that has a ton of utilities for those purposes. It is a little bit tricky to use at first but you can get really nice visualizations. I recommend installing it using with a conda env because its dependencies with other libraries.

Lets-Plot: An open-source plotting library by JetBrains
This seems quite similar to plotnine [0], which also provides a grammar of graphics interface for Python. That said, I love ggplot and I can't wait to use this in my research! I hope we can port/re-implement ggthemes, scientificplots [1], and other ggplot libraries for lets-plot.

Every modeler is supposed to be a great Python programmer
> Python doesn’t yet have anything remotely close to ggplot for rapidly making exploratory graphics, for example.
Plug for plotnine (https://plotnine.readthedocs.io/en/stable/). I don't know R but use ggplot indirectly through this library for exploratory data analysis, and comparing the experience to any other python plotting library, I understand why R folks are usually so sad to be using Python.
