MEaSUREs Greenland 6 and 12 day Ice Sheet Velocity Mosaics from SAR, Version 2
Data set id:
NSIDC-0766
DOI: 10.5067/1AMEDB6VJ1NZ
This is the most recent version of these data.
Version Summary
Changes for the version include:
- Temporal coverage extended
- Data recalibrated relative to previous versions to reduces biases imposed by quadratic fits to control points
- Correction added for the submergence/emergence velocity
- Addition of interferometric phase data where available

Overview

This data set, part of the NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Program, contains 6 and 12 day surface velocity estimates for the Greenland Ice Sheet and periphery. Velocities are derived from images acquired by the European Space Agency (ESA) Copernicus Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B satellites. See Greenland Ice Mapping Project (GrIMP) for related data sets.
