The data are produced from MABEL data by adjusting the detected number of signal and noise photons to that predicted using ATLAS instrument model design cases. Each data file consists of approximately 1 minute of HDF5-derived MABEL data.VIEW RELATED INFORMATIONhttps://doi.org/10.5067/FNGNX6AQJT3WUser's GuideGET DATAhttps://daacdata.apps.nsidc.org/pub/DATASETS/IS2PLMATLAS_v2/HTTPSCEOS IDN DIFVERSION 9.92024-07-312026-01-26NSIDCVersion SummaryInitial releaseNSIDCMinor VersionNSIDCCurrent Version1NSIDCSpatial Reference SystemsEPSG:4326WGS 84NSIDCLevel of ServiceBasicNSIDCFull Dataset CitationHancock, D., Neumann, T.
