Description: Programmatic connection to the 'OpenAltimetry' API
        <https://openaltimetry.earthdatacloud.nasa.gov/data/openapi/swagger-ui/index.html/>
        to download and process 'ATL03' (Global 'Geolocated' Photon
        Data), 'ATL06' (Land Ice Height), 'ATL07' (Sea Ice Height),
        'ATL08' (Land and Vegetation Height), 'ATL10' (Sea Ice
        'Freeboard'), 'ATL12' (Ocean Surface Height) and 'ATL13'
        (Inland Water Surface Height) 'ICESat-2' Altimeter Data. The
        user has the option to download the data by selecting a
        bounding box from a 1- or 5-degree grid globally utilizing a
        shiny application. The 'ICESat-2' mission collects 'altimetry'
        data of the Earth's surface. The sole instrument on 'ICESat-2'
        is the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS)
        instrument that measures ice sheet elevation change and sea ice
        thickness, while also generating an estimate of global
        vegetation biomass. 'ICESat-2' continues the important
        observations of ice-sheet elevation change, sea-ice
        'freeboard', and vegetation canopy height begun by 'ICESat' in
        2003.
