Illustrate the wind-mass relation, compute the geostrophic wind and the divergence and vorticity fields from NCEP reanalysis
THIS CODE IS NOT FUNCTIONNAL YOU WILL HAVE TO CODE THE MISSING PARTS (THIS SHOULD NOT BE TOO DIFFICULT).
Note 1 : This code was developed for educationnal purposes, and for French students. So the comments in the notebook are in French but the graphics and legends are in English.
