New data set release: ICESat-2 Derived Sea Ice Melt Pond Characteristics from the Density-Dimension Algorithm

ICESat-2 Derived Sea Ice Melt Pond Characteristics from the Density-Dimension Algorithm, Version 3, is now available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). This data provides locations and depths of melt ponds in the Multi-Year Arctic Sea Ice Region (MYASIR), calculated from ATLAS/ICESat-2 L2A Global Geolocated Photon Data (ATL03), Version 5 using an autoadaptive algorithm. The temporal range is 4 June 2020 to 28 August 2020.
