Description

This data set, part of the NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Program, contains monthly ice velocity mosaics for the Greenland Ice Sheet 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.

See <a href="http://nsidc.org/data/measures/grimp">Greenland Ice Mapping Project (GrIMP)</a> for related data.

Version Description

Version changes include: Reprocessed with a corrected DEM Cloud optimized GeoTIFF created with GDAL 3.2.1
