Hello!

Thanks for reaching out to us here. The python-gallery site you're accessing 
here is retired and no longer maintained. This has moved to our one stop shop,

https://unidata.github.io/python-training/

where our current training, gallery, and workshop material is available. The 
specific notebook you've referenced is having a separate, small data access URL 
issue at the moment if you try to follow the notebook yourself right now, but 
we're aware of and will be fixing this. Otherwise it should run without your 
issue!

Hope this helps.


All the best,
Drew
