Overview
This data set provides a quality-filtered set of ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3A Land and Vegetation Height, Version 5 (ATL08) observations of relative canopy heights and aboveground biomass density model results for circumpolar boreal forests. The data were collected at 30 m along-track segment lengths for strong beams only during the 2019–2021 high northern latitude growing seasons. The ATL08 point observations were clipped to the extent of the boreal forest spatial domain.
