Abstract

This dataset contains a time series of ice velocities for the Jakobshavn Isbrae Glacier in Greenland between 2002-2010, which has been produced as part of the ESA Greenland Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project.

This dataset consists of a time series of Ice velocity maps which have been generated from Image Swath mode images from the ASAR instrument on the ENVISAT satellite, with a 35 day repeat cycle. The data are supplied on a 500m polar stereographic grid.

Please note - this product was released on the Greenland Ice Sheets download page in June 2016, but an earlier product (also accidentally labelled v1.1) was available through the CCI Open Data Portal and the CEDA archive until 29th November 2016. Please now use the later v1.1 product.
