MEaSUREs Greenland Ice Velocity: Selected Glacier Site Velocity Maps from InSAR V001
This data set, part of the NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) program, provides velocity estimates determined from Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data for major glacier outlet areas in Greenland, some of which have shown profound velocity changes over the MEaSUREs observation period. The InSAR Selected Glacier Site Velocity Maps are produced from image pairs measured by the German Aerospace Center's (DLR) twin satellites TerraSAR-X / TanDEM-X (TSX / TDX). The measurements in this data set are provided in addition to the ice sheet-wide data from the related data set, <a href="https://nsidc.org/data/nsidc-0478">MEaSUREs Greenland Ice Sheet Velocity Map from InSAR Data</a>. See <a href="http://nsidc.org/data/measures/gimp">Greenland Ice Mapping Project (GIMP)</a> for more related data.

- Type: ECHO ORDERSDescription: NSIDC_ECS EOSDIS ECHO ORDERS Service Implementation
- Type: EGI - No ProcessingDescription: Using this service, data from the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) can be accessed directly from our HTTPS file system, or through our Application Programming Interface (API). This API offers you the ability to programmatically order and bulk-download data using temporal and spatial filters without the need to script against NSIDC's data directory structure. This may be valuable if you are interested in incorporating data access commands into your analysis or visualization code.
- Type: Web User InterfaceDescription: The NASA IceBridge Data Portal provides a single location from which users can search, visualize and download all of the IceBridge data sets available from within NSIDC's long-term archive. The Portal allows for map-based visualization of granule extents, granule browse images (where available), in addition to layer overlays such as flight lines and other imagery via polar views of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. A variety of filters are available that allow users to find data available within a temporal or spatial area of interest, as well as a keyword search option to help users hone in on a specific data set name or instrument.
