Download .nc from https://doi.org/10.5067/POJQI54A45HX. 2. File NSIDC-0756_BedMachineAntarctica_19700101-20191001_V04.1.nc in cwd/input 3. Run 02_extract_tifs.py from working directory (cwd) * Reads BedMachine NetCDF from cwd\input\ * Extracts subdatasets: dataid, bed, surface, thickness, errbed, firn * Applies native EPSG:3031 projection * Uses mask subvariable to remove ocean areas from surface, thickness, firn * Writes each variable as a cloud-optimised GeoTIFF (COG) with noData = -9999 * Additionally extracts bed elevation by mask class (ocean, ice-free land, grounded ice, floating ice, lake vostok) * Writes masked bed rasters to cwd\output\masked\ 4.
