        About
        -----
        
        Verde is a Python library for processing spatial data (bathymetry, geophysics
        surveys, etc) and interpolating it on regular grids (i.e., *gridding*).
        
        Most gridding methods in Verde use a Green's functions approach.
        A linear model is estimated based on the input data and then used to predict
        data on a regular grid (or in a scatter, a profile, as derivatives).
        The models are Green's functions from (mostly) elastic deformation theory.
        This approach is very similar to *machine learning* so we implement gridder
        classes that are similar to `scikit-learn <http://scikit-learn.org/>`__
        regression classes.
        The API is not 100% compatible but it should look familiar to those with some
        scikit-learn experience.
        
        Advantages of using Green's functions include:
        
        * Easily apply **weights** to data points. This is a linear least-squares
          problem.
        * Perform **model selection** using established machine learning techniques,
          like k-fold or holdout cross-validation.
        * The estimated model can be **easily stored** for later use, like
          spherical-harmonic coefficients are used in gravimetry.
        
        The main disadvantage is the heavy memory and processing time requirement (it's
        a linear regression problem).
        
        
        Project goals
        -------------
        
        * Provide a machine-learning inspired interface for gridding spatial data
        * Integration with the Scipy stack: numpy, pandas, scikit-learn, and xarray
        * Include common processing and data preparation tasks, like blocked means and 2D trends
        * Support for gridding scalar and vector data (like wind speed or GPS velocities)
        * Support for both Cartesian and geographic coordinates
        
        The first release of Verde was focused on meeting these initial goals and establishing
        the look and feel of the library. Later releases will focus on expanding the range of
        gridders available, optimizing the code, and improving algorithms so that
        larger-than-memory datasets can also be supported.

        Imposter syndrome disclaimer
        ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
        
        **We want your help.** No, really.
        
        There may be a little voice inside your head that is telling you that you're
        not ready to be an open source contributor; that your skills aren't nearly good
        enough to contribute.
        What could you possibly offer?
        
        We assure you that the little voice in your head is wrong.
        
        **Being a contributor doesn't just mean writing code**.
        Equally important contributions include:
        writing or proof-reading documentation, suggesting or implementing tests, or
        even giving feedback about the project (including giving feedback about the
        contribution process).
        If you're coming to the project with fresh eyes, you might see the errors and
        assumptions that seasoned contributors have glossed over.
        If you can write any code at all, you can contribute code to open source.
        We are constantly trying out new skills, making mistakes, and learning from
        those mistakes.
        That's how we all improve and we are happy to help others learn.
