Data set update: MEaSUREs Antarctic Grounding Line from Differential Satellite Radar Interferometry, Version 2

Data access options have been updated for the MEaSUREs Antarctic Grounding Line from Differential Satellite Radar Interferometry, Version 2 data set accessible from the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). The direct download location for this MEaSUREs (Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments) data set has changed, and both temporal searching and ordering are now available through NASA Earthdata Search using the Package Options button on the data set web page.

This data set provides 22 years of comprehensive high-resolution mapping of grounding lines in Antarctica from 1992 to 2014. The data were derived using differential satellite synthetic aperture radar interferometry (DInSAR) measurements from the following platforms: Earth Remote Sensing Satellites 1 and 2 (ERS-1 and ERS-2), RADARSAT-1, RADARSAT-2, the Advanced Land Observing System Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (ALOS PALSAR), Cosmo Skymed, and Copernicus Sentinel-1.
