The collection covers data for three different missions: ERS-1, ERS-2 and Envisat, and based on Level 1 data coming from previous reprocessing (ERS REAPER and the Envisat V3.0) but taking into account the improvements made at Level 0/Level 1 in the frame of FDR4ALT (_$$ALT FDR$$ https://earth.esa.int/eogateway/catalog/fdr-for-altimetry). The Land Ice TDP focuses specifically on the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica, providing these data in different files. For many aspects, the Land Ice Level 2 and Level 2+ processing is very innovative: Improved relocation approach correcting for topographic effects within the beam footprint to identify the Point of Closest Approach Homogeneous timeseries of surface elevation measurements at regular along-track reference nodes. The FDR4ALT products are available in NetCDF format. Free standard tools for reading NetCDF data can be used. Information for expert altimetry users is also available in a dedicated NetCDF group within the products. Please consult the _$$FDR4ALT Product User Guide$$ https://earth.esa.int/eogateway/documents/d/earth-online/fdr4alt-products-user-guide before using the data. The FDR4ALT datasets represent the new reference data for the ERS/Envisat altimetry missions, superseding any previous mission data. Users are strongly encouraged to make use of these datasets for optimal results. 2024-04-22T00:00:00.00Z series TDPforLandice eng -90.0 -180.0 90.0 -180.0 90.0 180.0 -90.0 180.0 -90.0 -180.0 Utilisation of this data is subject to ESA's Earth Observation Terms and Conditions. https://earth.esa.int/eogateway/documents/20142/1564626/Terms-and-Conditions-for-the-use-of-ESA-Data.pdf
