The NASA IceBridge Sigma Space Photon Counting Lidar L1B Time-Tagged Nadir Photon Ranges (ILSNP1B) data set contains nadir photon counting data captured over Antarctica using the Sigma Space photon counting lidar. Position and orientation data are included. The data were collected by scientists working on the Investigating the Cryospheric Evolution of the Central Antarctic Plate (ICECAP) project, which is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) with additional support from NASA Operation IceBridge. The data are ASCII text stored in compressed tar (.tgz) files and are available via FTP for periodic, ongoing campaigns from 25 November 2010 to the present.
