User Notice: Version 5 of multiple ATLAS/ICESat-2 data sets retiring

Version 5 of multiple ATLAS/ICESat-2 along-track data sets will be retired from the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) on 19 December 2023. After this date, access to the data will no longer be available, but the data set documentation will remain accessible for future reference.
