NASA’s Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite ICESat-2, launched September 15, 2018, carries the first space-borne multi-beam micro-pulse photon-counting laser altimeter system, the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS). Observations from ATLAS are acquired in three pairs of weak and...
