compute_LPET_ICESat2_ATL03.py

  • Calculates long-period equilibrium tidal elevations for correcting ICESat-2 geolocated photon height data

  • Calculated at ATL03 segment level using reference photon geolocation and time

  • Segment level corrections can be applied to the individual photon events (PEs)

  • Will calculate the long-period tides for all ATL03 segments and not just ocean segments defined by the ocean tide mask
