Space Apps Challenge 2018

A bit of follow up estimates that we processed over 3.4bn data points to complete our project.

For completeness' sake, here is the video with both Arctic and Antarctic views in it:

2809 files, one a day between 17/08/2009 and 30/04/2018, a period of 2814 days. I'm sure nobody will notice.

See the whole mesmerising video here

We have the data. It's scraped, converted and cropped. Now I guess we need to make it visible for other users...

Data set is downloading..slowly..half way there (3gb!)

Now online @https://icen-berg.space/

We are looking at data from the British Antarctic Survey to help model the Antarctic landmass https://www.bas.ac.uk/project/bedmap-2

We found that HDF_Viewer we were using to display the innards of the files from NASA was interpreting the input as a signed byte rather than an unsigned byte, meaning that we were getting duff readings for the control values of 252-255 and seeing them as -4 to -1 instead, disagreeing with the spec sheet we found afterwards.

Now on github @ https://github.com/mylestyson/summitspaceapps
