• Isolated portions of ICESat-2 Release 7 data are affected by 1) gaps in instrument pointing estimates and 2) degraded orbit/pointing solutions around spacecraft maneuvers. These issues can cause large errors in photon geolocation and heights. Please refer to the ICESat-2 Technical References Table for a list of impacted dates/times and granules, and use caution when using these data. Note that the issues are being addressed, and the degraded files will be replaced.
