Overview
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.
