Maps

This repository contains basic code for manipulating the S-MODE operations area polygon and visualizing ancillary data in the SMODE region. The operations area polygon in tools/ops_area_polygon.csv comes from page 7 of S-MODE Pilot Experimental Plan. This polygon is exported to json in the notebook OpsAreaPolygon.ipynb.

As shown in the demo notebooks, the operations area file can be read straight from the Github repository:

import pandas as pd 
map_url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NASA-SMODE/Maps/main/tools/' 
opsarea = pd.read_json(map_url + 'ops_area_polygon.json')

There's also a shoreline file that comes in handy for quick-and-dirty plots:

shore = pd.read_json(map_url + 'NorthCalShoreLine.json')

Demo Notebooks:

• Plotting a map of the operations area
• Fetching and visualizing current positions of S-MODE in-situ assets.
• Visualizing basic satellite SST and SSH data.
