Scripts to manually download and process the Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica (REMA) v1 geotiff file as part of #8. Had to rename the tiling functions (regular and selective tile). More confusingly is the change of X to Y and Y to X. X is now the low resolution input, and Y is the high resolution groundtruth. W is currently used for REMA, and we may change to using W1, W2, W3 and so on once we add in other relevant datasets #9.

Increasing spatial resolution of our Antarctic surface digital elevation model! There is finally a 100m mosaic product for the whole continent. Note that the dataset doi (currently linking to Harvard Dataverse) is still at v1.0. From the 'release notes' at https://www.pgc.umn.edu/data/rema/: REMA Release 1.1 corrects 2 minor issues in the mosaic tiles: (1) A vertical offset of 39 cm was added to the 1086 8-m mosaic tiles registered to Cryosat-2 altimetry, as well as Antarctica-wide mosaics, to correct for biases induced by surface penetration and surface re-tracking. This correction was determined through comparison to ICESat-1 altimetry. (2) Incorrect No Data values were replaced in 288 of the 8-m mosaic tiles and the Antarctica-wide mosaics. Supersedes #8.

Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica (REMA) provides the first, high resolution (8-meter) terrain map of nearly the entire continent. Adding this might help better resolve bed elevation since surface elevation does correlate with the bed elevation.
