Tutorials / Workshops

This section of the cookbook contains longer form tutorials providing examples of data search and access within a workflow. NSIDC is frequently involved in hackweeks and workshops as well. Content from past events can be found in the NSIDC Data Tutorials Repository.

Current cookbook tutorials:

• Direct cloud access of ICESat-2 (ATL06 Land Ice Height) data: a notebook that demonstrates searching for cloud-hosted ICESat-2 data and directly accessing Land Ice Height (ATL06) granules from an Amazon Compute Cloud (EC2) instance using the earthaccess package.
• Download of ICESat-2 (ATL07 Sea Ice) data: a notebook that demonstrates searching for and accessing ICESat-2 data using the Python earthaccess package, reading and visualizing the data using xarray and pandas, and that uses matplotlib and cartopy to produce a map of search results.
• Cloud workflow for manually subsetting data (HMA2_MATCHA) and downloading to your local machine: a notebook that demonstrates accessing cloud-hosted HMA2_MATCHA directly using the earthaccess package, subsetting the data by select variables and area of interest using xarray and rioxarray, and then downloading to a local machine.
