Data Set ID:
ATL23
Data Set Summary:
ATL23 contains monthly 3-month gridded averages of dynamic ocean topography (DOT) over midlatitude, north-polar, and south-polar grids derived from the along-track ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3A Ocean Surface Height product (ATL12). Monthly gridded sea surface height (SSH) can be calculated by adding the mean DOT and the corresponding weighted average geoid height. Both single beam and all-beam gridded averages are available: single beam averages are useful for identifying potential biases among the beams, and the all-beam averages are useful in physical oceanography. Simple averages, degree-of-freedom averages, and averages interpolated to the center of grid cells are included, as well as uncertainty estimates. Sea surface statistics histograms and wave statistics within grid are also provided.
