ATLAS/ICESat-2 L2A Global Geolocated Photon Data V007
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
ATL03 contains height above the WGS 84 ellipsoid, latitude, longitude, and time for each photon downlinked by the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) instrument on board ICESat-2.
Description
This product was designed to be a single source for all photon data and ancillary information needed by higher-level ATLAS/ICESat-2 products.
