Overview
This data set provides velocity components and resolved speeds for the proglacial ice mélange at Jakobshavn Glacier, Greenland. The data were collected using terrestrial radar interferometry (TRI) at 3-minute intervals for the nine-day period from 01 August 2012 to 09 August 2012. An ice mélange is defined as a tightly packed collection of ice bergs and sea ice which abut the terminus of a glacier.
