Description

This data set contains land ice height changes and change rates for the Antarctic ice sheet and regions around the Arctic gridded at four spatial resolutions (1 km, 10 km, 20 km, and 40 km). The data are derived from the ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3B Slope-Corrected Land Ice Height Time Series product (ATL11).

Version Description

This version was derived from ATL11 v7; extended temporal coverage through cycle 28
