US soil measurements

This app presents the data in the US Drought Meteorological Data dataset, which contains measurements of meteorological quantities taken across 56000 stations in the US.

To work with such a large dataset (2GB in CSV format), this app uses the Arrow file format to load the data, and server-side resampling for plotting.

Moreover, this app showcases the following:

• Event detection when clicking on line and map plots
• UI controls like menus, sliders, date pickers
• Two-column layout
• Plot configuration with Genie Builder
• Map for showing geospatial data
