Data set updates: MEaSUREs Greenland Monthly and Quarterly Ice Sheet Velocity Mosaics from SAR and Landsat

The following data sets, accessible through the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC), have been updated to version 1.1 to reflect updated filenames in the GDAL virtual format (.vrt) files:

MEaSUREs Greenland Monthly Ice Sheet Velocity Mosaics from SAR and Landsat, Version 1
MEaSUREs Greenland Quarterly Ice Sheet Velocity Mosaics from SAR and Landsat, Version 1

These data sets are produced under the Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Program and contain monthly and quarterly ice velocity mosaics for the Greenland Ice Sheet. These data are derived from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data obtained by the German Aerospace Center's (DLR) TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X (TSX/TDX), the European Space Agency's (ESA) Copernicus Sentinel-1A and -1B satellites, and from US Geological Survey (USGS) Landsat 8 optical imagery.
