A Multi-Level Auto-Adaptive Noise-Filtering Algorithm for Land ICESat-2 Photon-Counting Data

Due to atmospheric scattering, solar radiation, and other factors, the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) product data suffer from a substantial amount of background noise. This poses a significant challenge when attempting to directly utilize the raw data. Consequently, data deno...
