ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3A Land Ice Height V007
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
ATL06 contains geolocated land-ice surface heights above the WGS84 ellipsoid, plus ancillary parameters that can be used to interpret and assess the quality of the height estimates.
Description
The data were acquired by the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) instrument on board the ICESat-2 observatory.
