The canopy and ground surfaces are processed in fixed 100 m data segments, which typically contain more than 100 signal photons. 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/atl08-001-userguide.pdfATLAS/ICESat-2 L3A Land and Vegetation Height, Version 1 User GuideCEOS IDN DIFVERSION 9.92019-05-282026-03-30NSIDCVersion SummaryInitial releaseNSIDCMinor VersionNSIDCSpatial Reference SystemsEPSG:4326WGS 84NSIDCLevel of ServiceNo Data AccessNSIDCFull Dataset CitationNeuenschwander, A.
