Data

Many examples in this documentation use NetCDF files from the Surface Solar Radiation Climate Data Record (SARAH-3)¹.

Literage programming!

The How-To examples are real commands executed at the time of building this very documentation. This ensures that the command output, is indeed what you'd really get by installing rekx! This literate programming experience is achieved with the use of the wonderful plugin markdown-exec.
