asp_plot.altimetry_source

asp_plot.altimetry_source#

Shared base for the altimetry sources.

Every altimetry source — ICESat-2 on Earth (Icesat2Source) and the planetary instruments LOLA/MOLA (LolaSource / MolaSource) — samples an ASP DEM at a set of point locations, differences the altimetry heights against it, removes coarse outliers, and exports a pc_align-ready CSV. AltimetrySource collects that shared machinery so each concrete source only carries what is genuinely body-specific (the request/loader and the height/datum conventions).

Sources hold a back reference to the coordinating asp_plot.altimetry.Altimetry instance and read the cross-cutting dem_fn / directory / aligned_dem_fn from it, so a single source of truth describes the DEM under analysis.
