The IceBridge LVIS L2 Geolocated Surface Elevation Product (ILVIS2) data set contains a series of Greenland and Antarctica ground elevation measurements taken from the NASA Land, Vegetation, and Ice Sensor (LVIS). The data were collected as part of Operation IceBridge funded campaigns, and are stored in ASCII text and big-endian binary format and are available for periodic, ongoing campaigns from 14 April 2009 to the present via FTP.
