Overview
This High Mountain Asia data set contains 2 m resolution digital elevation models (DEMs), surface velocities, surface mass balance (SMB) rates, and SMB uncertainties for six debris-covered glaciers in Nepal.
SMB rate is estimated by applying a Lagrangian specification to DEMs derived from very-high-resolution optical stereo imagery acquired by Maxar Technologies satellites WorldView-1, WorldView-2, WorldView-3, and GeoEye-1.
This data set was granted permission for public release on 1 March 2024 under the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) Electro-Optical Commercial Layer (EOCL) program.
