MEaSUREs Annual Antarctic Ice Velocity Maps, Version 1
This data set, part of the NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) program, provides annual maps of Antarctic ice velocity. The maps are assembled using SAR data from the Japanese Space Agency's (JAXA) ALOS PALSAR, the European Space Agency's (ESA) ENVISAT ASAR and Copernicus Sentinel-1, the Canadian Space Agency's (CSA) RADARSAT-1, RADARSAT-2, the German Aerospace Agency's (DLR) TerraSAR-X (TSX) and TanDEM –X (TDX), and the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Landsat-8 optical imagery..
