GEOSAT Radar Altimeter DEM Atlas of Antarctica North of 72.1 degrees South
Entry ID: NSIDC-0075

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The Antarctic atlas consists of 28 digital elevation maps which cover all of Antarctica north of 72.1 degrees south at a resolution of three kilometers. Each map contains surface elevations and coordinates for one atlas page covering 16 degrees of longitude. Data were acquired by the Geodetic Satellite (GEOSAT) Geodetic Mission (GM) from March 1985 through September 1986 and are available in both ... View entire text
