Description
ATL24 provides global along-track coastal and nearshore bathymetry, consisting of refraction-corrected seafloor and sea surface heights (orthometric and ellipsoidal heights and instantaneous depths), as well as associated uncertainties. The data are derived from ATLAS/ICESat-2 L2A Global Geolocated Photon Data (ATL03).
Version Description
An additional density-based algorithm was run on all candidate bathymetry photons to determine a final classification; The “profile” and “stats” variables under the “/metadata” group were removed because they are not relevant to v2; An “atl24” variable under the “/metadata” group was added to capture the specific versioning information related to the new algorithm. This new variable will be used going forward to precisely capture the versioning information of the algorithms that are run; A “DatasetIdentification” subgroup was added to the “/metadata” group.
