pysiral.auxdata.mss

Important Note:

All mss data handlers must be subclasses of pysiral.auxdata.AuxdataBaseClass in order to work for the Level-2 Processor. If the auxiliary class is based on a static dataset, this should be parsed in __init__.

Please review the variables and properties in the parent class, as well as the correspodning config and support classes for grid track interpolation in the pysiral.auxdata module for additional guidance.

The only other hard requirements is the presence of on specific method in order to be a valid subclass of AuxdataBaseClass:

get_l2_track_vars(l2)

This method will be called during the Level-2 processor. The argument is the Level-2 data object and the purpose of the method is to compute the auxilary variable(s) and associated uncertainty. These variable need to be registered using the register_auxvar(id, name, value, uncertainty) method of the base class. All MSS subclasses need to register at minimum the following variable:

mean sea surface (wgs84 elevation in meter):

id: mss name: mean_sea_surface

e.g., this code line is mandatory for get_l2_track_vars (uncertainty can be None):

# Register Variables self.register_auxvar(“mss”, “mean_sea_surface”, value, uncertainty)
