This data set (ATL12) contains along-track sea surface height of the global open ocean, including the ice-free seasonal ice zone and near-coast regions. Estimates of height distributions, significant wave height, sea state bias, and 10 m heights are also provided. 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.
