Estimates of height distributions, significant wave height, sea state bias, and 10 m heights are also provided. The data were acquired by the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) instrument on board the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) observatory.VIEW RELATED INFORMATIONhttps://nsidc.org/sites/default/files/documents/user-guide/atl12-v006-userguide.pdfATLAS/ICESat-2 L3A Ocean Surface Height, Version 6 User GuideCEOS IDN DIFVERSION 9.92023-05-182026-04-07NSIDCVersion SummaryFixed an error in the surface type percentage calculation; Updated the ATL12 template; Added several parameters for quality assessment.NSIDCMinor Version1Data were reprocessed using ITRF2014 (replacing ITRF2020) for consistency across the entire data set. 2022-11-132023-10-260NSIDCSpatial Reference SystemsEPSG:4326WGS 84NSIDCLevel of ServiceNo Data AccessNSIDCFull Dataset CitationMorison, J.
