ATLAS/ICESat-2 L2A Normalized Relative Backscatter Profiles V003
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.

- Type: ESIDescription: NSIDC_ECS ESI EOSDIS Service Implementation to the ICESAT2 Subsetter
- Type: NOT PROVIDEDDescription: NSIDC_ECS ESI EOSDIS Service Implementation of the No Processing Service. This service provides a programmatic access API to data, but no customization options; subsetting, reformatting, and transformation are not supported through this service.
- Type: Downloadable ToolDescription: icepyx is a python software library for accessing and working with ICESat-2 data. Acting as a wrapper around Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) supported by the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC), icepyx enables data acquisition in as few as three lines of code.
