: It was developed as a trigger flag and a specialized subgroup to handle anomalies in surface water height measurements.
: 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
: 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). : It was developed as a trigger flag
