*****FOR THIS SESSION BRING WITH YOU YOUR LAPTOP OR TABLET*****
Description:
cs2eo.org enables users to visualise spatial intersections of airborne and spaceborne altimetry data from CryoSat-2, ICESat-2, CryoVEx, IceBridge and CryoTEMPO. The website’s unique temporal separation time functionality allows users to select intersects that are close in time (e.g. 3 hours) up to a 28 day separation, providing useful application for both Sea Ice and Land Ice. The intuitive and reactive interface enables users to choose the area of interest by specifying a bounding box or drawing a polygon. Easy to use download scripts allow users to download only their intersecting data, saving a large amount of both download time and data preparation time. The provided KML file allows users to save the visualisation component of their results and view it at a later time. The robust implementation makes it possible to run large queries in batch mode and receive the results via email.

The website provides access to CryoSat-2 LRM, SAR and SARIn mode data and ICESat-2 ATL06, ATL07, ATL10, and ATL12 products. Predicted ground track data is available, allowing users to view and plan for future CryoSat-2 and ICESat-2 satellite passes and intersections. The portal additionally provides access to CryoTEMPO-EOLIS Point and Gridded products. CryoVEx and Operation Icebridge data is also available for download and intersection.

In this session the portal will be demoed followed by an open discussion to collect feedback about useful future functionality and datasets for the portal. Users will be able to play with the website themselves, ask questions and suggest improvements.
