ATLAS/ICESat-2 L1B Converted Telemetry Data V007 provides time-ordered system-level telemetry from the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System on the ICESat-2 satellite. The data are produced by the NSIDC_CPRD organization for quality control analysis and as source data for higher-level products. The dataset supports the Precision Orbit Determination and Precision Pointing Determination computations.
Use Cases
- Perform system-level quality control analysis using time-ordered telemetry metrics.
- Generate Level 2 altimetry products by processing the L1B telemetry source data.
- Compute Precision Orbit Determination (POD) using telemetry-derived positional and timing data.
- Calculate Precision Pointing Determination (PPD) using instrument attitude and pointing telemetry.
Strengths
- Data is processed to Level 1B standard, indicating calibrated and time-ordered telemetry.
- Designated as source data for critical downstream computations like POD and PDD.
Limitations
- Specific row count, column names, and data volume are unknown.
- The temporal coverage and geographic extent of the telemetry records are unspecified.
