New data set release: MEaSUREs ITS_LIVE Antarctic Grounded Ice Sheet Elevation Change, Version 1

The MEaSUREs ITS_LIVE Antarctic Grounded Ice Sheet Elevation Change, Version 1 data set is now available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). This data set is produced under the Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Program. It provides monthly elevation change data for the Antarctic Ice Sheet from 17 April 1985 to 16 December 2020. The data is derived from five radar altimetry missions (Geosat, ERS-1 and -2, Envisat and CryoSat-2) and two laser altimetry missions (ICESat and ICESat-2).
