We need way(s) to provide required aux-data for the xcube data store smos
:
- SMOS discrete global grid data. We currently rely on a version installed
by SNAP plugin SMOS-Box in~/.snap/auxdata/smos-dgg/grid-tiles
.
We currently set its path via an
environment variableXCUBE_SMOS_DGG_PATH
. - SMOS NetCDF Kerchunk index. We currently set its path via an
environment variableXCUBE_SMOS_INDEX_PATH
.
Here are a number of options. They could also be provided in combination.
- Put aux-data in publicly available S3 bucket (slower).
- Provide installable aux-data package in conda/pip (faster).
- Bundle aux-data with container image.
- Put aux-data in publicly available FTP for download and configure store
via env varXCUBE_SMOS_INDEX_PATH
.
