New version release: MEaSUREs Greenland Annual Ice Sheet Velocity Mosaics from SAR and Landsat, Version 5

MEaSUREs Greenland Annual Ice Sheet Velocity Mosaics from SAR and Landsat, Version 5 data set is now available through the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). This data set, part of the NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) program, contains annual ice velocity mosaics for the Greenland Ice Sheet posted at a 200 m resolution. Velocities are estimated using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X (TSX/TDX) and Sentinel-1A and -1B, as well as optical imagery from Landsat 8 and 9.

Version 4 of the data set will be retired from the NSIDC DAAC on 26 January 2023. After this date, access to the data will no longer be available, but the data set documentation will remain available for future reference.
