Description
ATL20QL is the Quick Look (QL) version of ATL20 with an expedited latency of 3‒5 days. QL data are based on the same algorithms that generate the standard products but do not undergo the same rigorous quality checks; thus, they should be used with caution. Once final files are available, the corresponding QL files are removed. ATL20QL contains rolling 30-day gridded estimates of sea ice freeboard, derived from ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3A Sea Ice Freeboard Quick Look (ATL10QL) along-track freeboard estimates.
