Open Source Tools

SnowEx is working to advance the frontier of open science by creating publicly available data and open-source tools to process field and airborne data products. 

 

UW eScience SnowEx Hackweek: https://snowex.hackweek.io/

Hackweeks are participant-driven events that strive to create welcoming spaces for participants to learn new things, build community and gain hands-on experience with collaboration and team science. Hackweeks are generally composed of tutorials and project work. Tutorials are catered to a set of data products or open-source development of a data tool. Projects are focused group work time to further develop tools, create data analysis workflow, or creatively spend time designing a community needed tool. 

 

SnowEx Database: https://m3works.io/#/snowex

The SnowEx Database is a PostGIS database created to provide a central location for NASA SnowEx campaign data in a common format. Using the database you can query data to identify coincident observations by space or time. 

 

SWESARR pytools: https://pypi.org/project/swesarr-pytools/

Library for data retrieval and processing of NASA GSFC Snow Water Equivalent Synthetic Aperture Radar and Radiometer data.

 

UAVSAR pytools: https://pypi.org/project/uavsar-pytools/

Tools to download and convert ground projected UAVSAR images. 

 

Github repositories: 

As some SnowEx data sets get published the data preparer shares processing steps using a Github repository. See the list below to find out more about a particular data set.
