DeepIceDrain
Mapping and monitoring deep subglacial water activity in Antarctica using remote sensing and machine learning.
Getting started
Quickstart
Launch in Pangeo Binder (Interactive jupyter lab environment in the cloud).
Usage
Once you've installed properly installed the deepicedrain
package
(see installation instructions further below), you'll have access to a range
of tools for downloading and performing quick calculations on ICESat-2 datasets.
The example below shows how to calculate ice surface elevation change
on a sample ATL11 dataset between ICESat's Cycle 3 and Cycle 4.
import deepicedrain
import xarray as xr
# Loads a sample ATL11 file from the intake catalog into xarray
atl11_dataset: xr.Dataset = deepicedrain.catalog.test_data.atl11_test_case.read()
# Calculate elevation change in metres from ICESat-2 Cycle 3 to Cycle 4
delta_height: xr.DataArray = deepicedrain.calculate_delta(
dataset=atl11_dataset, oldcyclenum=3, newcyclenum=4, variable="h_corr"
)
# Quick plot of delta_height along the ICESat-2 track
delta_height.plot()
Installation
Basic
To just try out the scripts, download the environment.yml
file from the repository and run the commands below:
cd deepicedrain
conda env create --name deepicedrain --file environment.yml
pip install git+https://github.com/weiji14/deepicedrain.git
Advanced
To help out with development, start by cloning this repo-url
git clone <repo-url>
Then I recommend using conda to install the non-python binaries. The conda virtual environment will also be created with Python and poetry installed.
cd deepicedrain
conda env create -f environment.yml
Activate the conda environment first.
conda activate deepicedrain
Then install the python libraries listed in the pyproject.toml
/poetry.lock
file.
poetry install
Finally, double-check that the libraries have been installed.
poetry show
(Optional) Install jupyterlab extensions for interactive bokeh visualizations.
jupyter labextension install @pyviz/jupyterlab_pyviz
jupyter labextension install dask-labextension
jupyter labextension list # ensure that extensions are installed
Running jupyter lab
conda activate deepicedrain
python -m ipykernel install --user --name deepicedrain # to install conda env properly
jupyter kernelspec list --json # see if kernel is installed
