ATLAS/ICESat-2 L2A Normalized Relative Backscatter Profiles V006

Published by NASA NSIDC DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: June 28, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-03-31

ATL04 contains along-track normalized relative backscatter profiles of the atmosphere. The product includes full 532 nm (14 km) uncalibrated attenuated backscatter profiles at 25 times per second for vertical bins of approximately 30 meters. Calibration coefficient values derived from data within the polar regions are also included. The data were acquired by the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) instrument on board the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) observatory.
