Data set update: MEaSUREs Greenland Ice Velocity: Selected Glacier Site Single-Pair Velocity Maps from Optical Images, Version 1

The MEaSUREs Greenland Ice Velocity: Selected Glacier Site Single-Pair Velocity Maps from Optical Images, Version 1 data set, available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC), has been updated. New data has been added for the year 2023, extending the temporal coverage through 29 December 2023.

This data set consists of surface velocity estimates for selected Greenland Ice Sheet outlet glaciers. Velocity fields were generated by tracking visible features in optical images acquired by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) and the European Space Agency (ESA) Copernicus Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B satellites. This data set is part of the Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Program.
