Data set updates: Version 6 reprocessing complete for multiple ATLAS/ICESat-2 datasets at NSIDC DAAC

Multiple ATLAS/ICESat-2 datasets, accessible through the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC), have completed Version 6 reprocessing, and the full temporal coverage is now available.  Version 5 of these datasets will be retired in December 2023 and will no longer be accessible after that time. All related documentation will remain available on the Version 5 data set web pages for future reference.

The NSIDC DAAC provides access to documentation and the Version 6 data sets from the following locations:
