HiMAT data tutorial: Reference

Key Points

Introduction
Data Types

  • Usage of various HiMAT resources will vary depending on the type of data being analyzed
NASA ADAPT: Overview

  • We will use ADAPT primarily to store and process large gridded datasets
NASA ADAPT: Linux VM

  • The Linux VM provides us with maximum flexibility in accessing and manipulating HiMAT datasets (relative to the Windows VM)
NASA ADAPT: Windows VM

  • ADAPT provides a Windows interface for access to HiMAT data. The primary advantage is taking advantage of GIS software tools.
Transferring Data to/from ADAPT

  • Use standard secure ftp protocols to transfer data to/from your local computer

  • Use WinSCP if on a Windows platform, and sftp from the command line if on Mac/Linux
Python Examples

  • ADAPT is a good environment for pre-processing of HiMAT datasets using open source toolkits.
