WICSIS 2024 EMIT Access Workshop

Tuesday, 12/Nov/2024: 4:30pm - 6:00pm, (GMT +1)

The Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) instrument aboard the International Space Station (ISS) measures visible to short-wave infrared (VSWIR) wavelengths and can be used to map Earth’s surface in detail. Here we demonstrate how to access and visualize EMIT data through Earthdata search with Python. We also provide information for downloading EMIT data through various web interfaces. Participants will complete two Jupyter notebooks and be able to inspect EMIT spectra throughout the session.
