These data sets include measurements from snow pits and ice cores across Antarctica. 2009-01-29T17:00:00+00:00 http://nsidc.org/agdc/acap/news/20081223.html Four additional data sets are now available via the Antarctic Cryosphere Access Portal (A-CAP). The newly available data sets include ice thickness, surface velocity of Taylor Glacier, and basemaps for accumulation and Surface Mass Balance (SMB). 2008-12-23T15:38:00+00:00 http://nsidc.org/agdc/acap/news/20081205.html The data set, Ablation rates of Taylor Glacier, Antarctica (NSIDC-0326), is now available through the Antarctic Cryosphere Access Portal (A-CAP). 2008-12-05T23:38:00+00:00 http://nsidc.org/agdc/acap/news/20081204.html The data set, Subglacial topography: airborne geophysical survey of the Amundsen Sea Embayment, Antarctica (NSIDC-0292), is now available through the Antarctic Cryosphere Access Portal (A-CAP). 2008-12-04T19:15:00+00:00 http://nsidc.org/agdc/acap/news/20081117.html Support for the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Feature Service (WFS) has been upgraded from Version 1.0.0 to 1.1.0. Similarly, Web Coverage Service (WCS) has been upgraded from Version 1.0.0 to 1.1.1. 2008-11-17T21:21:13+00:00 http://nsidc.org/agdc/acap/news/20081031.html A-CAP users can now select some layers from NSIDC's Antarctic Glaciological Data Center (AGDC). AGDC data sets are collected by individual investigators who are funded by specific grants through the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Polar Programs (OPP). NSIDC is actively incorporating the existing AGDC archive into A-CAP.
