Antarctic Ice Velocity Data
|
|||||

The above overview map is a subscene from the USGS 1 km AVHRR mosaic (Ferrigno et al., 1996).
These velocities were determined from Maganavox Geoceiver occupations of stations, which were revisited approximately one year later. The data were not post-processed so the point-position accuracy is +/- 5 m, giving a velocity accuracy of approx +/- 7 m/a (ie around 2%).
