ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3B Mission Composite Gridded Terrain and Canopy Elevation Parameters V001
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The ATL18 and ATL28 data products comprise several gridded terrain and canopy elevation parameters derived from the 20 m geosegment height measurements of ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3A Land and Vegetation Height (ATL08).
Description
ATL18 is a composite of data over the entire mission, while ATL28 provides monthly data.
