: It was developed as a trigger flag and a specialized subgroup to handle anomalies in surface water height measurements.
: The "k2s.anom" logic was integrated into the ICESat-2 Science Investigator-led Processing System (SIPS), which manages data from the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS). k2s.anom
This data flag or subgroup is part of the updates, specifically developed for the ATL22 mean surface water products to improve the processing of inland water data. Key Contextual Details : It was developed as a trigger flag
: These flags help filter water body crossings and refine the "short segment" quality by identifying invalid or degraded geolocation solutions caused by anomalous data points. k2s.anom
