Data set update: MEaSUREs Greenland Ice Mapping Project (GIMP) Land Ice and Ocean Classification Mask, Version 1

The MEaSUREs Greenland Ice Mapping Project (GIMP) Land Ice and Ocean Classification Mask, Version 1 data set, available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC), has been updated. Temporal coverage has been expanded, with land ice and ocean masks added for the year 2020. The data set now provides land ice and ocean masks for the years 2000, 2015, and 2020.

This data set, part of the NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) program, provides a complete land ice and ocean classification mask for the Greenland ice sheet, that was mapped using a combination of imagery acquired by RADARSAT-1, the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) on Landsat 7, and the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8.
