Overview
These Level 1B time-ordered telemetry data are used for system-level, quality control analysis by the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) ICESat-2 Science Investigator-led Processing System (SIPS). They also provide source data for the Level 2 products and the Precision Orbit Determination (POD) and Precision Pointing Determination (PPD) computations.
