Changes for Version 6 are as follows: - Modified blowing snow detection algorithm to reduce false positive detections often seen in daylight - Added and modified the blowing snow confidence values (bsnow_con) to include new descriptions and changed the parameter from a one-byte to a two-byte integer value - Added four values to the layer attribute parameter (layer_attr) - Added a new parameter called clear air precipitation top height (cap_h) that denotes the top height of clear air precipitation that reached the ground - Replaced the ANC32 surface reflectance map (now based on three years of ICESat-2 surface reflectance measurements instead of two) to fill in gaps - Changed bs_quartile to bs_quantile in ATL09 and related code - Modified code to use density matrix 1 instead of density matrix 2 when computing layer densities - Implemented a third pass of the density dimension algorithm to reduce the effect of noise in creating false layers - Updated the ANC45 cloud/aerosol discrimination table to increase the accuracy of detected layers
