Description

This data set (ATL20) contains daily and monthly gridded estimates of sea ice freeboard, derived from along-track freeboard estimates in the ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3A Sea Ice Freeboard product (ATL10). Data are gridded at 25 km using the SSM/I Polar Stereographic Projection.

Version Description

Changed input data from ATL10 Version 3 to ATL10 Version 4.
