Description

This data set contains elevation and surface measurements over Greenland, the Arctic, and Antarctica, as well as flight path charts and echogram images acquired using the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) Ku-Band Radar Altimeter.

Version Description

Version 2 data are in netCDF format beginning with the 2012 Antarctica campaign. Version 1 data are in MATLAB and binary format for Spring 2012 and earlier campaigns.
