This combined repository includes tutorials and code resources provided by the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). These tutorials are provided as Python-based Jupyter notebooks that provide guidance on working with various data products, including how to access, subset, transform, and visualize data. Each tutorial can be accessed by navigating to the /notebooks folder of this repository. Please see the README files associated with each individual tutorial folder for more information on each tutorial and their learning objectives. Please note that all branches outside of `Main` should be considered in development and are not supported.

This combined repository includes tutorials and code resources provided by the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). Most were developed to support a workshop or other live event. In many cases the content represents a snapshot in time, and might not be current best practice. Some tutorials present data access patterns for retired on premises archives that will no longer work now that data have migrated to the NASA Earhtdata Cloud environment. We've posted warnings in those cases. Up to date information on data access patterns can be found in the [NSIDC Data Cookbook]([https://github.com/nsidc/NSIDC-Data-Cookbook](https://nsidc.github.io/NSIDC-Data-Cookbook/).

Originally demonstrated through the NASA Earthdata Webinar "Let It Snow! Accessing and Analyzing Snow Data at the NSIDC DAAC" on May 6, 2020, this tutorial provides guidance on how to discover, access, and couple snow data across varying geospatial scales from NASA's SnowEx, Airborne Snow Observatory, and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) missions. The tutorial highlights the ability to search and access data by a defined region, and combine and compare snow data across different data formats and scales using a Python-based Jupyter Notebook.

Originally presented during the 2019 AGU Fall Meeting, this tutorial demonstrates the NSIDC DAAC's data discovery, access, and subsetting services, along with basic open source resources used to harmonize and analyze data across multiple products. The tutorial is provided as a series of Python-based Jupyter Notebooks, focusing on sea ice height and ice surface temperature data from NASA’s ICESat-2 and MODIS missions, respectively, to characterize Arctic sea ice.

This tutorial is based on the notebooks originally provided to NSIDC by Adam Purdy. Updates were made by Jennifer Roebuck and Andy Barrett of NSIDC to include the latest version of SMAP data and use earthaccess for authentication, searching for and downloading the data. These notebooks also demonstrate reading and plotting SMAP data, and contain useful supporting information.
