# SciTools - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `scitools.org.uk` ## Description SciTools is a collaborative initiative founded by the Met Office that delivers powerful, open-source Python libraries tailored for weather and climate science. As a community-driven project, SciTools continues to evolve through contributions from developers globally, focusing on enhancing the essential toolset for Earth scientists. Notably, its flagship packages, Iris and Cartopy, empower users to analyze and visualize meteorological and environmental data seamlessly. Dedicated to fostering teamwork, SciTools encourages developers to create new libraries while leveraging its existing resources. All projects are maintained under the LGPLv3 license, promoting broad collaborative efforts. Users can download and utilize Iris and Cartopy, while contributors can engage by reporting bugs, adding code, or enhancing documentation. The organization stresses the importance of community involvement, ensuring that both user feedback and developer ideas influence ongoing developments. For those interested in joining the effort, SciTools offers support channels and invites engagement through GitHub, where all developmental discussions occur. This open approach is central to SciTools’ mission of advancing Earth science tools for a better understanding of our planet. ## Industries - 🧪 Science and Education - 🧪 Weather _(under Science and Education)_ - 🧪 Earth Sciences _(under Science and Education)_ - 🖥 Computers Electronics and Technology - 🖥 Programming and Developer Software _(under Computers Electronics and Technology)_ ## Links - [github](https://github.com/SciTools) ## Logos & icons - logo _(primary)_ — PNG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idfQwHaGAO/w/122/h/122/theme/light/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1780551075581) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Silver Sand | #b9bbbe | accent | | Blue Chill | #0f7699 | dark | | White | #ffffff | light | ## Fonts - -apple-system — asset _(system)_ --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
