Getting started

If you haven’t done so already, read Prerequisites and follow the applicable steps.

Processing the first waveform

If you are new to swath processing, it may be informative to follow the tutorial on (processing and) viewing a single waveform. While this is not the kind of data that you will need to analyze a glaciers evolution, this is its foundation. Knowledge about the smallest parts of the data can help you understand the larger picture.

Find the tutorial in scripts/tutorial__process_first_waveform.ipynb.

Processing the first swath

Similar to viewing a single waveform, you might wonder how swath data of a single track look like. Again, a single track will not tell you much about a glacier’s evolution, but it may help to understand higher level data.

scripts/tutorial__process_first_swath.ipynb will give you a hand using cryoswath to process a single track and visualize the data.
