Continued enhancements to ICESat-2 land ice science product algorithms

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking continued enhancements to ICESat-2 land ice science product algorithms. The project aims to develop land-ice data products to ensure that the ICESat-2 project and future altimetry missions can provide ongoing high-quality records of ice-sheet change. The work will involve improving the current products, making them compatible with future data, and developing techniques to maintain data continuity. The project will also explore the use of additional datasets to improve product precision, resolution, and coverage. Some key aspects of the project include: • Improving the current products to fulfill the evolving needs of the scientific community • Making the current products compatible with the data that will be available in the future • Developing techniques that can keep generating gridded products in the face of computational challenges • Improving product precision, spatial resolution, and temporal resolution • Developing algorithms to allow faster and easier calculations • Improving access to algorithms and documentation
