Description
ATL13QL is the quick look version of ATL13. Once final ATL13 files are available the corresponding ATL13QL files will be removed. ATL13 contains along-track surface water products for inland water bodies. Inland water bodies include lakes, reservoirs, rivers, bays, estuaries and a 7km near-shore buffer. Principal data products include the along-track water surface height and standard deviation, subsurface signal (532 nm) attenuation, significant wave height, wind speed, and coarse depth to bottom topography (where data permit).
