MEaSUREs Greenland Ice Sheet Velocity Map from InSAR Data
Entry ID: NSIDC-0478

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: This data set, part of the NASA Making Earth Science Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) project, provides annual ice-sheet-wide velocity maps for Greenland, derived using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data from the RADARSAT-1 satellite. The data set currently contains ice velocity data for the winter of 2000-2001 and 2005-2006, and 2006-2007 acquired from ... View entire text
