Issue Worked On: Add Consistent Bands Metadata to Vision Transformer and ResNet Weights #2376 This week, I worked on a GitHub issue to add consistent band metadata across Vision Transformer (ViT) and ResNet weight classes in the torchgeo library. The goal was to ensure uniform metadata across different weight classes, specifically supporting various satellite datasets like Landsat and Sentinel.

You can search on ASF's data discovery portal for SMAP:
https://search.asf.alaska.edu/#/?maxResults=250&dataset=SMAP...
This lets you bulk download the .h5 files once you have an Earthdata account (https://urs.earthdata.nasa.gov/home )
or you can use the libraries if you'd like, https://github.com/nsidc/earthaccess or https://github.com/asfadmin/Discovery-asf_search
