Data Announcement

New data set release: ICESat-2 Pre-Launch Simulated Multiple Altimeter Beam Experimental Lidar Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (MATLAS) Data, Version 2

ICESat-2 Pre-Launch Simulated Multiple Altimeter Beam Experimental Lidar Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (MATLAS) Data, Version 2 is now available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). This data set contains simulations of the expected performance of the ICESat-2 ATLAS instrument produced from Multiple Altimeter Beam Experimental Lidar (MABEL) data. The data files each contain approximately 1 minute of HDF5-derived MABEL data from areas in North America and Greenland. Temporal coverage is from 24 February 2012 to 27 September 2012.
