Data set update: MEaSUREs Greenland Ice Velocity: Selected Glacier Site Velocity Maps from InSAR

The MEaSUREs Greenland Ice Velocity: Selected Glacier Site Velocity Maps from InSAR, Version 1 data set, available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) has been updated with data through September 2018. Additional data for 2016 and 2017 were also added to the W68.60N grid.

This data set, part of the Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Program, provides velocity estimates determined from Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data for major glacier outlet areas in Greenland beginning 1 January 2009. The InSAR Selected Glacier Site Velocity Maps are produced from the German Aerospace Center's (DLR) TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X (TSX/TDX) image pairs.
