It is different from previous operational ice-sheet altimeters in that it is a photon-counting LIDAR. ATLAS records a set of arrival times for individual photons, which are then analyzed to derive surface, vegetation, and cloud properties. ATLAS has six beams arranged in three pairs, so that it samples each of three reference pair tracks with a pair of beams; ATLAS transmits pulses at 10 kHz, giving approximately one pulse every 0.7 m along track; ATLAS's expected pointing control will be better than 90 m RMS.</gco:CharacterString> </gmi:description> <gmi:mountedOn xlink:href="#ICESAT_2_PLATFORM_ID"/> </eos:EOS_Instrument> </gmi:instrument> <gmi:operation> <!-- MI_Operation is expected to be here by the Base Reference Metadata Model document--> <gmi:MI_Operation> <gmi:description> <gco:CharacterString>ICESat-2 &gt; Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2</gco:CharacterString> </gmi:description> <gmi:citation> <gmd:CI_Citation> <gmd:title> <gco:CharacterString>ICESat-2 &gt; Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2</gco:CharacterString> </gmd:title> <gmd:date gco:nilReason="unknown"/> </gmd:CI_Citation> </gmi:citation> <gmi:identifier> <gmd:MD_Identifier> <gmd:code> <gco:CharacterString>ICESat-2</gco:CharacterString> </gmd:code> <gmd:description> <gco:CharacterString>Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2</gco:CharacterString> </gmd:description> </gmd:MD_Identifier> </gmi:identifier> <gmi:status> <gmd:MD_ProgressCode codeList="http://cdn.earthdata.nasa.gov/iso/resources/Codelist/gmxCodelists.xml#MD_ProgressCode" codeListValue="underDevelopment">underDevelopment</gmd:MD_ProgressCode> </gmi:status> <gmi:parentOperation gco:nilReason="inapplicable"/> <gmi:platform xlink:href="#ICESAT_2_PLATFORM_ID"/> </gmi:MI_Operation> </gmi:operation> <gmi:platform> <eos:EOS_Platform id="ICESAT_2_PLATFORM_ID"> <gmi:citation> <gmd:CI_Citation> <gmd:title> <gco:CharacterString>ICESat-2 &gt; Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2</gco:CharacterString> </gmd:title> <gmd:date gco:nilReason="unknown"/> </gmd:CI_Citation> </gmi:citation> <gmi:identifier> <gmd:MD_Identifier> <gmd:code> <gco:CharacterString>ICESat-2</gco:CharacterString> </gmd:code> <gmd:description> <gco:CharacterString>Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2</gco:CharacterString> </gmd:description> </gmd:MD_Identifier> </gmi:identifier> <gmi:description> <gco:CharacterString>Spacecraft</gco:CharacterString> </gmi:description> <gmi:instrument xlink:href="#ATLAS_INSTRUMENT_ID"/> </eos:EOS_Platform> </gmi:platform> </gmi:MI_AcquisitionInformation> </gmi:acquisitionInformation> </gmi:MI_Metadata> </gmd:seriesMetadata> </gmd:DS_Series> (Type is String)
