ICESSN Reader  (click to download zip file)

• read_icessn.m returns all fields from a single ICESSN file. read_icessn determines if the ICESSN file is in version 1 or 2 based on file extension. Requires gps2utc.m.
• load_all_icessn.m can be used to combine all ICESSN files in a directory into a single MATLAB® file with appropriate minor modifications. load_all_icessn requires read_icessn.m, gps2utc.m, gimp_proj.mat and a license for MATLAB®’s mapping toolbox.

Description of ICESSN reader

function [lon, lat, elev_surf, time_utc, slope_sn, slope_we, rms_fit, num_pt_used, num_pt_removed, dist_cen, track_id] ...
                            = read_icessn(name_file, verbosity)
% READ_ICESSN Load NASA ATM ICESSN data.

%   [LON,LAT,ELEV_SURF,TIME_UTC,SLOPE_SN,SLOPE_WE,RMS_FIT,NUM_PT_USED,NUM_PT_REMOVED,DIST_CEN,TRACK_ID] = READ_ICESSN(NAME_FILE,VERBOSITY)
%
%   READ_ICESSN(NAME_FILE) returns all fields in version 1 (no extension)
%   or 2 (.csv) ICESSN file called NAME_FILE, which includes both path and
%   extension. READ_ICESSN determines which version the file is based on
%   its extension and patterns in file names.
