Results from the CryoSat-2 satellite radar altimetry mission from November 2010 to February 2024 are provided at both processing stages and for the two waveform retrackers AWI-ICENet1 (based on a deep convolutional neural network architecture) and OCOG10 (10% of the offset center of gravity (OCOG) amplitude). The generation of the stage (2) gridded data from the stage (1) OCOG10-retracked measurements involve an empirical correction for the effect of time-variable surface and volume scattering. Hence, the resulting stage (2) dataset is labeled OCOG10-cor. For this empirical correction, we apply a tailored scattering correction using epoch differences over time intervals of 6 years and search radii of 5 km. The results from the ICESat-2 satellite laser altimetry mission from April 2019 to April 2024 are provided only at the processing stage (2). As input to our processing, we use the CryoSat-2 Level-1B waveform product Baseline E provided by ESA and the ICESat-2 ATL06.006 land ice height product (version 6) provided by NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center.99.34111.541-79.2885-75.4852German Research Foundationhttps://doi.org/10.13039/501100001659442929109Advancing ice altimetry analysis to constrain the Antarctic Ice Sheet's response to climate changeGerman Research Foundationhttps://doi.org/10.13039/5011000016595472008Priority Programme 1158 Antarctic Research with Comparable Investigations in Arctic Sea Ice AreasTechnische Universität Dresdenhttps://doi.org/10.13039/501100002957ScholarshipGraduate Academy Dresden
