Version Summary
Version Summary
Changes for this version include:
- Added cyces 10 and 11 of the ICESat-2 data.
- The group attribute poly_exponent_list has been removed from ATL11. The same information is available from the /ptx/ref_surf/poly_exponent_x and /ptx/ref_surf/poly_exponent_y datasets.
Overview
As of 23 September 2022, this data set is retired and no longer available for download. Per our agreement with the data provider, NSIDC only archives the most recent version of each of the ICESat-2 standard products and the version that preceded it. The most recent version is available from https://nsidc.org/data/icesat-2/data-sets
This data set provides time series of land-ice surface heights derived from the ICESat-2 ATL06 Land-ice Height product. It is intended primarily as an input for higher level gridded products, but can also be used on its own as a spatially organized product that allows easy access to height-change information derived from ICESat-2 observations.
