Description

During the JOSS review we identified a few new-ish tools and updates to add to our ICESat-2 Resource Guide:

  • update instructions for getting to NSIDC ICESat-2 data tools (they've recently redone their website)
  • add read-icesat-2 to the list of open-source packages
  • do a quick GitHub search to identify other repos that should be added to the list

Contributor guide

Research direction
Update the ICESat 2 resource guide by following the checklist: update NSIDC instructions (review their recent website changes), add the read icesat 2 package to the list, and perform a GitHub search for other relevant open source repositories to include.
