Once final ATL10 files are available, the corresponding ATL10QL files are removed. ATL10 contains along-track sea ice freeboard calculated for 10 km swath segments. The data were acquired by the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) instrument on board the ICESat-2 observatory.VIEW RELATED INFORMATIONhttps://nsidc.org/sites/default/files/documents/user-guide/atl10ql-v007-userguide.pdfATLAS/ICESat-2 L3A Sea Ice Freeboard Quick Look, Version 7 User GuideGET DATAhttps://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/granules?p=C3566183646-NSIDC_CPRDEarthdata SearchGET DATAhttps://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/virtual-directory/collections/C3566183646-NSIDC_CPRDHTTPSGET DATAhttps://nsidc.org/data/data-access-tool/ATL10QL/versions/7/Data Access ToolGET DATAhttps://earthaccess.readthedocs.io/en/stable/earthaccessCEOS IDN DIFVERSION 9.92025-06-172026-04-07NSIDCVersion Summary-Introduced interpolation of reference surface heights when computing freeboard heights. In previous releases, a static value of the 10 km reference surface was used to compute freeboard heights. In v7, reference surface heights are interpolated (if neighboring reference surfaces are available) to the freeboard height location before freeboard height computation.
-Introduced option to include heights computed using a lognormal distribution when available.
-Fixed oc_depth parameter. Previously, oc_depth only had values of 0.0.NSIDCMinor VersionNSIDCCurrent Version1NSIDCSpatial Reference SystemsEPSG:4326WGS 84NSIDCLevel of ServiceComprehensiveNSIDCFull Dataset CitationKwok, R., Petty, A.
