On Wednesday, April 24, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. (US Mountain Time), the following data collections may not be available due to planned system maintenance: ASO, AMSR Unified, AMSR-E, Aquarius, High Mountain Asia, IceBridge, ICESat/GLAS, ICESat-2, LVIS, MEaSUREs, MODIS, Nimbus, SMAP, SnowEx, SSM/I-SSMIS and VIIRS.
The ICESat-2 Quick Look data sets are currently experiencing delays beyond the nominal 3-day latency. Issues at two ground stations are causing the delay and possible permanent data gaps. EDOS is actively working to resume nominal operations. We apologize for any inconvenience.
This is the most recent version of these data. Version Summary
Changes for Version 6 include:
Removed interpolated reference surfaces with no sea ice segments
Updated the mean sea surface (MSS) variables description
Updated the ATL10 group structure
Implemented land filtering

Overview
ATL10QL is the quick look version of ATL10. Once final ATL10 files are available the corresponding ATL10QL files will be removed.
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.

Filter files before downloading based on date, spatial area, or file name. Choose from various download options, such as Python script. Export bounding boxes as a GeoJSON.
Search and order data from all NASA DAACs using spatial and temporal filters in a map interface. Reformatting, reprojecting, and subsetting options are available for some data sets.
Programmatically request selected data products through our API. This tool is valuable for selecting just the parameters you need from big data sets. Apply spatial and temporal filters, subsetting, reformatting, and reprojection.
