SpaceLiDAR

A Julia toolbox for ICESat-2 and GEDI data.

This is mostly a research package for now, things are hacky and quick to change. Expect a registred mature package by JuliaCon (summer) 2021

Currently supports the following data products (UG=User Guide, ATBD=Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents):

• ICESat GLAH14 v34 UG ATBD
• ICESat-2 ATL03 v4 UG ATBD
• ICESat-2 ATL08 v4 UG ATBD
• ICESat-2 ATL12 v4 UG ATBD
• GEDI L2A v2 UG ATBD
