Overview
ATL11 provides spatially organized time series of land-ice surface heights and ice-shelf locations where ICESat-2 operates in repeat-track mode (i.e., for polar ice), along with parameters useful in determining whether each height estimate is valid or a result of potential errors. ATL11 is derived from the ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3A Land Ice Height product (ATL06) and intended primarily as an input for higher-level gridded products.
