Abstract
This dataset contains optical ice velocity time series and seasonal product of the Hagen Glacier in Greenland, derived from intensity-tracking of Sentinel-2 data acquired between 2017-06-30 and 2017-08-14. It has been produced as part of the ESA Greenland Ice sheet CCI project.
The data are provided on a polar stereographic grid (EPSG 3413:Latitude of true scale 70N, Reference Longitude 45E) with 50m grid spacing. The horizontal velocity is provided in true meters per day, towards EASTING (x) and NORTHING (y) direction of the grid.
The data have been produced by S[&]T Norway.
