MEaSUREs ITS_LIVE Antarctic Quarterly 1920 m Ice Shelf Height Change and Basal Melt Rates, 1992-2017, Version 1 is now available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). This data set contains quarterly, 1920 m resolution estimates of Antarctic ice shelf surface height change, basal melt rate, thickness, surface mass balance, firn air content, and associated errors, from 17 March 1992 through 16 December 2017. The data were generated from four European Space Agency (ESA) satellite radar altimetry missions spanning 26 years using a novel data fusion approach and the Glacier Energy and Mass Balance model (GEMB) to estimate firn air content and surface mass balance. The contributing satellite missions are ERS-1 (1991–1996), ERS-2 (1995–2003), Envisat (2002–2010), and CryoSat-2 (2010–2017). This data set is part of the Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Program.
