Release v4.8.0
2024-10-15
Version description of the v4.8.0 release of SlideRule Earth.
Bathy Version #5.
ATL24 Changes
Fixed issue with ortho_h where it was being set to zero when the surface_h was less than or equal to zero.
When Kd is invalid (i.e. No Data from the VIIRS raster), the previous Kd is used and an INVALID_KD flag is set
Fixed issue where the absolute value of the pointing angle is now being used to calculate the pointing angle index
Fixed issue with the uncertainty calculation where the uncertainties are now the RSS of all the contributing factors
Fixed issue with the use of the wind speed in the uncertainty calculation where wind speeds are now averaged between five different levels
Coastnet is used to set the surface_h
Minimum subaqueous vertical uncertainty set to 10cm
Refraction correction and uncertainty applied to photons below surface_h AND are not labeled as sea surface
Classifiers updated: coastnet, qtrees, openoceanspp, ensemble
Statistics on Subaqueous photons no longer include photons labeled as sea surface
Known Issues and Remaining Tasks
CMR queries of ATL09 stopped working - CMR updated their API and removed support for page numbers when scrolling
General Changes
GEDI parameters updated to be more accurate an intuitive (the old parameter names are still functional but have been DEPRECATED, please switch to using the new ones in your code).
degrade_flag
changed todegrade_filter
and instead of having to know what the flag values were; the user now just needs to set to True to filter out all degraded footprints.l2_quality_flag
changed tol2_quality_filter
and instead of having to know what the flag values were; the user now just needs to set to True to filter out anything that does not meet the L2 quality criteria.l4_quality_flag
changed tol4_quality_filter
and instead of having to know what the flag values were; the user now just needs to set to True to filter out anything that does not meet the L4 quality criteria.surface_flag
changed tosurface_filter
and instead of having to know what the flag values were; the user now just needs to set to True to filter out anything that isn’t a surface footprint.beam
changed tobeams
to reflect that it is primarily a list of beams to process and not just a single beam (even though if the user only provides a single beam, the server side code will automatically promote it to a list of beams with only one element).
Subsetting requests that use a rasterized geojson to perform the subsetting have been changed so that the geojson string is passed via a parameter named
region_mask
instead ofraster
. The original name was confusing with our increasing support for raster sampling. The new name makes it clearer that the parameter is used as a mask for the region of interest.
