User-defined datacubes from SMOS Level-2 data
xcube-smos is a Python package and xcube
plugin that adds a
data store
named smos to xcube. The data store is used to
access ESA SMOS Level-2 data
in form of analysis-ready geospatial datacubes with the dimensions
time, lat, and lon. The datacubes are computed on-the-fly from the SMOS
data archive s3://EODATA/SMOS hosted on CREODIAS.
After installation, data access is as easy as follows:
from xcube.core.store import new_data_store
store = new_data_store("smos", **credentials)
datacube = store.open_data(
"SMOS-L2C-SM",
time_range=("2022-01-01", "2022-01-06")
)Above, a datacube of type
xarray.Dataset
for SMOS Soil Moisture has been obtained.
To access SMOS Ocean Salinity data use the identifier "SMOS-L2C-OS".
More about xcube-smos can be found in its
documentation.
