Description

This data set provides Arctic summer sea ice heights and bathymetry with the primary purpose to evaluate the positional accuracies of NASA’s ICESat-2 ATLAS measurements. The bathymetric lidar data (green wavelength, 515 nm) were acquired during a July 2022 calibration/validation airborne campaign using a Leica Chiroptera 4X (CHIR) airborne lidar system. Simultaneous topographic lidar data are also available (ICESat-2 Cal/Val 2022 L2 CHIR NIR Lidar Arctic Sea Ice Heights, IS2CV22L2H).
