Refining the sea surface identification approach for determining freeboards in the ICESat-2 sea ice products

<p>In Release 001 and 002 of the ICESat-2 sea ice products, candidate height segments used to estimate the reference sea surface height for freeboard calculations included two surface types: specular and smooth dark leads. We found that the uncorrected photon rates, used as proxies of surface...
