ESA Greenland Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (Greenland_Ice_Sheet_cci): Greenland Ice Velocity Map Winter 2015-2016, v1.0
Abstract
This dataset provides an ice velocity map for the whole Greenland ice-sheet for the winter of 2015-2016, derived from Sentinel-1 SAR data, as part of the ESA Greenland Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project.
The data are provided on a polar stereographic grid (EPSG3413: Latitude of true scale 70N, Reference Longitude 45E). The horizontal velocity is provided in true meters per day, towards the EASTING(x) and NORTHING(y) directions of the grid; the vertical displacement (z), derived from a digital elevation model, is also provided. Please note that previous versions of this product provided the horizontal velocities as true East and North velocities.
