The ATL03 data downloaded by icepyx contained no photon heights data

The icepyx is a great and convenient package to download the data. However, I met some mistake in downloading the ATL03 data. I chose a certain spatial extent and date range.

code:

bounding box

short_name = ‘ATL03’
spatial_extent = [129.034162,35.048268,129.121820,35.121367]
date_range = [‘2018-10-13’,‘2019-01-03’]

region_a = ipx.Query(short_name, spatial_extent,date_range)

But the download file (named “processed_ATL03_20181111052956_06660102_005_01”) has no photon height data in group gtx. The file size is also much smaller than download directly from the website (56.9MB vs 3.27GB). I wonder if I made some stupid mistake and forget to set some important parameters or this error was caused by other reasons.

The code environment is Anaconda(Spyder) Python 3.7.6 icepyx 0.6.3

any updates on this? it also happens to me

How big is your box? A box below a certain size threshold will return no data
