Data Announcement

New data set release: ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3B Monthly Gridded Dynamic Ocean Topography, Version 1 (ATL19)

The ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3B Monthly Gridded Dynamic Ocean Topography, Version 1 (ATL19) data set from the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) mission is now available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). This data set contains monthly gridded dynamic ocean topography (DOT), derived from the along-track ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3A Ocean Surface Height product (ATL12, V4). Both single beam and all-beam gridded averages are available in this data set. Single beam averages are useful to identify biases among the beams and the all-beam averages are advised to use for physical oceanography.  The temporal coverage for the data set is from 13 October 2018 to 01 June 2021.
