User Notice: Isolated portions of ICESat-2 Release 7 data contain errors in photon geolocation and heights

Isolated portions of ICESat-2 Release 7 data are affected by gaps in instrument pointing estimates and degraded orbit/pointing solutions around spacecraft maneuvers. These issues can cause large errors in photon geolocation and heights. Please refer to the “Rel007 Pointing Data Gaps” sheet in the ICESat-2 Technical References Table, Version 4 for a list of impacted dates/times, and use caution when using these data. These issues are being addressed and updated data products will replace the degraded files. When the files are corrected, the banners on the data set landing pages warning about these errors will be removed.
