Auxiliary Datasets

The configuration file auxdata_def.yaml defines the auxiliary datasets used mainly in the Level-2 processor.

Each dataset is associated with an auxiliary dataset ID: <category>:<dataset_id>

This ID is used to link the register the auxiliary dataset in the configuration file auxdata_def.yaml (main pysiral configuration directory, example). with the data location specification in the local_machine_def.yaml (main pysiral configuration directory, example). and the usage in a Level-2 processor configuration file.

Location

Yaml Tag

auxdata_def.yaml

root.<category>.<dataset_id>

local_machine_def.yaml (optional)

root.auxdata_repository.<category>.<dataset_id>

Level-2 processor definition file

root.auxdata.<category>.<dataset_id>

Note

An auxiliary dataset only needs an entry in local_machine_def.yaml if it depends on actual data files.

The full list of supported auxiliary datasets is available in this section.
