Data set update: MEaSUREs Annual Greenland Outlet Glacier Terminus Positions from SAR Mosaics, Version 2

The MEaSUREs Annual Greenland Outlet Glacier Terminus Positions from SAR Mosaics, Version 2 data set, accessible through the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC), has been updated. New data for glaciers in the northwest and central west Greenland have been added so the data set now spans the winter seasons 1972-1973 through 2020-2021.

This data set consists of annual, digitized ice front positions for 239 outlet glaciers in Greenland. It is produced under the Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) program.
