ACCURACY EVALUATION OF ICESAT-2 ATL08 IN FINLAND
Abstract. ATL08 is level-3A land and vegetation height product of ICESat-2 data, which recorded the terrain elevation and surface height parameters at 100 m fixed-length along the ground track. It has been used widely not only in vegetation monitoring at large scale, but also in improving the accuracy of satellite stereo mapping, so, the accuracy of ...

A new Arctic MSS model derived from combined Cryosat-2 and ICESat observations
Due to the existence of seasonal or perennial sea ice cover, the determination of the Arctic sea surface is more difficult than that of mid-low latitudinal oceans.

Evaluation of the Global Multi-Resolution Terrain Elevation Data 2010 (GMTED2010) Using ICESat Geodetic Control [PDF]
Supported by NASA's Earth Surface and Interior (ESI) Program, we are producing a global set of Ground Control Points (GCPs) derived from the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) altimetry data.

Local Geoid height calculations with GNSS, airborne, and spaceborne Lidar data
Determining the exact position of objects on the Earth’s surface is extremely important. The general purpose of this study is to calculate local geoid and orthometric heights of points obtained from ICESat-2/ATLAS, airborne LIDAR, and GNSS/CORS data and ...

Although the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) onboard the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) was primarily designed for glacier and sea-ice measurement, it can also be applied to monitor lake surface height (LSH ...

Abstract Surface meltwater impacts Greenland Ice Sheet mass balance indirectly by reducing albedo and promoting hydrofracture. However, fully understanding both processes requires accurate mapping of small‐scale features such as ponds, channels, and moulins that govern meltwater formation and drainage. Here we investigate surface water dynamics at high
