Documentation Overview

The documentation for NASAPrecipitation.jl is divided into four components:

Introduction - meant as an introduction to the package, the NASAPrecipitatonDataset and its subtypes
Tutorials - meant to show how to use NASAPrecipitation.jl to download data, and how it interacts with the GeoRegions.jl package for data extraction and manipulation
How-to Examples - geared towards those looking for specific examples of what can be done
API Reference - comprehensive summary of all exported functionalities

Obtaining Example Datasets

All the output for the coding examples were produced using my computer with key security information (such as login info) omitted. The examples cannot be run online because the file size requirements are too big. Copying and pasting the code examples (with relevant directory and login information changes) should produce the same results.
