These scripts extract, process and filter ICESat-2 crossing data for cross-section definition in rivers.

The methods were developed on a stretch of the Mekong River

- Input files and intermediate products to reproduce the resulting cross-sections are included.

ICESat-2 products are not included, but are available from NSIDC:

https://nsidc.org/data/atl03

https://nsidc.org/data/atl08

https://nsidc.org/data/atl13

Version 5 of the ICESat-2 products were used in the making of this paper. Newer versions are now available.

All example file-paths must be replaced with actual filepaths before scripts are run.

To ensure the required intermediate products are ready when needed, use the following script run order:

- ATL13 00Extract and 01EGM08_HarmSynth in any Python installation

- ATL13 02QGIS_Hub_Processing in the QGIS Python console

- ATL13 03 through 07

- ATL08 00 through 04 (02 in QGIS)

- ATL03 00 through 15 (02 in QGIS)

- ATL13 08 through 14


Some scripts cannot be run without in-situ data from the Mekong River Commission, but intermediate products are available to run subsequent scripts.
