Albedo Inspector

This is a tutorial for the web application - Albedo Inspector. It allows users to extract time series of albedo and load the albedo maps freely in browser.

1. Load Data

The time series of albedo can be extracted at any point of interest (poi) by clicking on the map. An interactive chart will be displayed in the top left panel and will be updated everytime clicking on a new poi. The map of both RGB true color composite and albedo can be loaded by selecting time of interest (yyyy-mm-dd). A week number is also required to compute the image mosaic. This may take a while if the week number is too large. A week number of 1 is a good starting point for albedo in July 2014. Note that the image is restricted to the current map window.

2. Compare Map

By draging the box under the layers, user may compare the albedo map and the RGB true color composite.

Large areas in the central Greenland Ice Sheet is blank. This is mainly due to cloud/cloud shaodows mask, L7 ETM+ Scan Line error, data saturation and computational artifacts in the surface reflectance data.

3. Export Data

Export Time Series Data

The time series of albedo is displayed as an interactive chart. It can be exported as csv as shown in the gif:

Export Albedo Map

We also support exporting a clip of albedo. If the size of current map view window is less than 32MB and grid dimension is smaller than 10000, a button will appear for downloading the albedo map as geotiff format. The limitation is due to the limitation of Google Earth Engine.

Hope this is helpful to you. Questions and suggesstions are welcomed!

02 Map Greenland on GEE

The map tile generated on GEE will expire after 24h, therefore only screenshot is provided below. However a webapp deployed on heroku is also availble.

How to use it?

You can download the template at GitHub

Or: git clone https://github.com/AU-ENVS-PhD/phdau-article-based.git

Then you could open it either locally or online in overleaf. Feel free to ask questions if any!

Useful tips

• There’s a project logo (deep purple) at the front page. It can be easily modified to your own project or removed. Change the line 194 in phdau.cls to your own logo or comment it out.
• Want to have a list of acronyms? Simply add your acronyms to acronyms.tex and call the acronyms in any chapters by using \gls{} or \acrfull{} etc. More can be refered to this tutorial.
• Now it supports displaying orcid id of you or your coauthors if you want. Simply call \orcid{} and add your orcid number inside. For pdf readers it will have a clickable link to your orcid profile. See the example in sections\paperI.tex.
• Added new function to display keywords. Simply call \keywords{} and add your keywords inside. This is because many would like to have a list of keywords at the end of the abstract of the thesis or the papers.
• Possible to change paper size set to A4, but by default is the book format (17 x 24 cm) which looks better. It is intended for pringting.
• Title page resize is disabled in case of longer title is needed.
• \citet and \citep are now default for citing references.
