Data Set ID:
ATL09QL
Data Set Summary:
ATL09QL is the Quick Look (QL) version of ATL09 with an expedited latency of 3‒5 days. QL data are based on the same algorithms that generate the standard products but do not undergo the same rigorous quality checks; thus, they should be used with caution. Once final files are available, the corresponding QL files are removed. ATL09QL contains calibrated, attenuated backscatter profiles (CAB), layer-integrated attenuated backscatter, blowing snow, and other parameters including cloud and aerosol layer height and atmospheric characteristics. The data were acquired by the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) instrument on board the ICESat-2 observatory.
