Tutorials

There is a small number of tutorials that will be extended if I find support. Those are Jupyter notebooks on the branch “scripts” with names starting with “tutorial”. The notebooks will be available locally in a directory named “scripts” after installing cryoswath and running cryoswath-init. Otherwise, you can view them online by selecting the “scripts” branch on GitHub’s project main page.

tutorial__general_step-by-step.ipynb contains a step-by-step guide to retrieve gridded glacier surface elevation trends from raw (L1b) data.

tutorial__process_first_waveform.ipynb explains how to visualize single waveforms.

tutorial__process_first_swath.ipynb teaches the retrieval of elevation estimates for a ceratin satellite track.

tutorial__poca.ipynb shows how the points of closest approach (POCA), that have a special meaning, can be retrieved.
