About sharktopus

Cloud-native GRIB cropper. Started for GFS; designed so HRRR, GEFS, NAM, ECMWF, and whatever comes next can plug in without breaking what already runs in production.

Project coordination

Dra. Tânia Ocimoto Oda Principal investigator — CONVECT (CNPq Chamada Eventos Extremos 15/2023).

sharktopus exists because the CONVECT project needed a repeatable, cloud-portable way to fetch and crop forecast data for convective systems research. The CLI and this local WebUI are the result.

Initial development

Leandro Machado Cruz IEAPM — initial developer, maintainer.

Designed and implemented the orchestration, the cloud-crop handlers (AWS Lambda, GCloud Cloud Run, Azure Container Apps), and this UI. Contributions welcome on GitHub.
