MEaSUREs Greenland Ice Sheet Velocity Map from InSAR Data V002

Version 2 eng; usa
  • Abstract
    This data set, part of the NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) program, contains seasonal (winter) ice-sheet-wide velocity maps for Greenland derived from Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data obtained by RADARSAT-1, the Advanced Land Observation Satellite (ALOS), and the TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X (TSX/TDX) satellites, and C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar data from Sentinel-1A and -1B.See Greenland Ice Mapping Project (GIMP) for related data.Note: These data are considered provisional pending a review by the MEaSUREs program. Once the data have been reviewed, this statement will be removed.
