Annual snow accumulation, 1959-2004, along 250 km segment of EGIG

The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) has published a new data set: Greenland Annual Accumulation along the EGIG Line, 1959–2004, from Airborne Radar and Neutron Probe Densities. This data set reports mean annual snow accumulation rates (meters water equivalent) at 3 meter intervals along a 250 km segment of the Expéditions Glaciologiques Internationales au Groenland (EGIG) line. Accumulation rates are derived from Airborne SAR/Interferometric Radar Altimeter System (ASIRAS) data and high resolution neutron-probe density profiles.
