\begin{abstract}
Increased anthropogenic stressors (e.g., warming, acidification,
wildfires and other extreme events) present complex observational
challenges for Earth science, and no one sensor can `do it all.' While
many remote sensing technologies are available at present, scientific
disciplines are often trained to use only a specific subset, greatly
limiting scientific advancements. Here we present open-source software
(`icepyx') that lowers the barrier for entry for two remote platforms
offering vertically-resolved information about the ocean's subsurface:
ICESat-2 (Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite 2) and Argo floats.
icepyx provides object-oriented code for querying and downloading
ICESat-2 and Argo data within a single analysis workflow. icepyx
natively handles ICESat-2 data access and read-in; here we introduce the
Query, Unify, Explore SpatioTemporal (QUEST) module as a framework for
adapting icepyx to easily access and ingest other datasets and present
Argo data as the initial use case. Seamless retrieval of coincident data
from ICESat-2 and Argo enables improved targeted and exploratory studies
across the cryosphere and open ocean realms. We close with
recommendations for future work, a discussion of the value of open
science, relevance of our work to upcoming satellite missions, and an
invitation to join our programming community.%
