Digital SAR Mosaic and Elevation Map of the Greenland Ice Sheet
Entry ID: NSIDC-0052

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The Digital SAR Mosaic and Elevation Map of the Greenland Ice Sheet CD-ROM combines the most detailed synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image mosaic available with the best current digital elevation model. The mosaic image shows both the location of the ice edge and the distribution of melt-related 'scatterers' on the surface. These scatterers include ice lenses and complex layered structure in the ...
