ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3A Sea Ice Freeboard, Version 4
This data set (ATL10) contains estimates of sea ice freeboard, calculated using three different approaches. Sea ice leads used to establish the reference sea surface and descriptive statistics used in the height estimates 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.
There is a more recent version of these data.
Changes for this version include:
- Implemented freeboard beam along-track slope for ATL10; referenced surface along-track slope is now reported on ATL10.
- Updated the default value of the controllable parameter height_segment_fit_quality_flag_max to 4.
- The default values of upper and lower bounds of the freeboard reference surface and ht_thresh2 have been updated to match the ATBD for ATL07/ATL10/ATL20
- Mean sea surface, geoid, and height data products are placed into a consistent tide-free system. Free-to-mean tide conversion factors are included to easily change to mean tide system.
