ESA Greenland Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (Greenland_Ice_Sheet_cci): Greenland Ice Velocity Map, Winter 2017-2018, v1.0
Abstract
This dataset provides an ice velocity map for the whole Greenland ice-sheet for the winter of 2017-2018, derived from Sentinel-1 SAR data acquired from 28/12/2017 to 28/02/2018, as part of the ESA Greenland Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project.
In total approximately 1900 S-1A & S-1B scenes are used to derive the surface velocity applying feature tracking techniques. The ice velocity map is provided at 500m grid spacing in North Polar Stereographic projection (EPSG: 3413). The horizontal velocity is provided in true meters per day, towards EASTING(vx) and NORTHING(vy) direction of the grid, and the vertical displacement (vz),
derived from a digital elevation model, is also provided. The product was generated by ENVEO (Earth Observation Information Technology GmbH).

| File Format: |
The data is provided as a NetCDF file (including all measurements and annotation), with the velocity compnents: vx, vy, vz and vv (magnitude of the horizontal components), along with maps showing valid pixel count and uncertainty (std.). The ice velocity map is provided at 500m grid spacing in North Polar Stereographic projection (EPSG: 3413). The horizontal velocity is provided in true meters per day, towards EASTING(vx) and NORTHING(vy) direction of the grid, and the vertical displacement (vz), derived from a digital elevation model (GIMP, Howatt et al. 2014), is also provided.
