ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3B Gridded Antarctic and Arctic Land Ice Height, Version 6
Data set id:
ATL14
DOI: 10.5067/ATLAS/ATL14.006
This is the most recent version of these data.
Version Summary
This version was derived from ATL11 v7; Added check on input data against most recent ATL14/15 product to provide an initial outlier flag; Refactored code for improved maintainability and more efficient use of computing resources; Extended temporal coverage through cycle 31.

Overview

This data set contains a high-resolution (100 m) gridded digital elevation model (DEM) for the Antarctic ice sheet and regions around the Arctic. The data are derived from the ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3B Slope-Corrected Land Ice Height Time Series product (ATL11).
