Description:
NASA's Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) was launched in September 2018 to measure the heights of all surfaces across the globe, including land ice, sea ice, oceans, water, and vegetation. ICESat-2 carries a photon-counting laser altimeter to measure these surfaces, providing measurements every 70 centimeters along the platform’s ground path at a rate of 10,000 laser pulses per second.
In this webinar, speakers from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of New Hampshire (UNH) will introduce the ICESat-2 Inland Surface Water product (ATL13) and Gridded Inland Surface Water product, (ATL22), as well as their associated application areas for water resources decision support. In addition, a data discovery and data access demonstration will showcase icepyx, a shared software library of resources including code, tutorials, and use-cases/examples that simplify the process of querying, obtaining, analyzing, and manipulating ICESat-2 datasets to enable scientific discovery.
