Sliderule data I/O#

This notebook will highlight analyzing various coincident elevation measurements. We will find regions with and use slideruleearth.io service to retrieve ICESat-2 and GEDI point elevation measurements.

Note

Keep in mind, these measurements are from different sensor types, close in time, but not at exactly the same time. All measurements also have uncertainties, so we do not expect perfect agreement.

Identify a primary dataset#

Start by loading a full resolution polygon of a 3DEP LiDAR workunit which has a known start_datetime and end_datatime:

workunit = "CO_WestCentral_2019"
df_wesm = coincident.search.wesm.read_wesm_csv()
gf_lidar = coincident.search.wesm.load_by_fid(
    df_wesm[df_wesm.workunit == workunit].index
)

Search secondary datasets#

Provide a list that will be searched in order. The list contains tuples of dataset aliases and the temporal pad in days to search before the primary dataset start and end dates

secondary_datasets = [
    ("gedi", 40),  # +/- 40 days from lidar
    ("icesat-2", 60),  # +/- 60 days from lidar
]

gf_gedi, gf_is2 = coincident.search.cascading_search(
    gf_lidar,
    secondary_datasets,
    min_overlap_area=30,  # km^2
)

Get ICESat-2 ATL06 Data#

We’ve identified 7 granules of icesat-2 data to examine, but there is no need to work with the entire granule, which spans a huge geographic extent. Instead we’ll retrieve a subset of elevation values in the area of interest for each granule.

# Hone in on single granule as a pandas series
i = 0
granule_gdf = gf_is2.iloc[[i]]
granule = gf_is2.iloc[i]
granule_gdf.plot()  # needs to be a geodataframe
plt.title(granule.id);
# The icesat-2 track trends N-S, and is crossed by multiple GEDI tracks, resulting in the crosshatched appearance

data_is2 = coincident.io.sliderule.subset_atl06(
    granule_gdf,
    include_worldcover=True,
)
# Plot this data and overlay footprint
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 10))
plt.scatter(
    x=data_is2.geometry.x,
    y=data_is2.geometry.y,
    c=data_is2.h_li,
    s=10,
)
granule_gdf.dissolve().boundary.plot(ax=ax, color="magenta")
cb = plt.colorbar()
cb.set_label("elevation_hr (m)")

Note

sliderule gets data from the envelope of multipolygon, not only data within intersecting GEDI tracks. Along-track gaps are where there is missing data.
