ICESat‐2/ATLAS Onboard Flight Science Receiver Algorithms: Purpose, Process, and Performance

Abstract The Advanced Topographic Laser Altimetry System (ATLAS) is the sole instrument on the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite 2 (ICESat‐2). Without some method of reducing the transmitted data, the volume of ATLAS telemetry would far exceed the normal X‐band downlink capability or require...
