  • ESA Greenland Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (Greenland_Ice_Sheet_cci): Greenland Ice Velocity Map, Winter 2015-2016, v1.2
  • 2025-03-31 01:05:57
  • 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 acquired from 01/10/2015 to 31/10/2016, as part of the ESA Greenland Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project. 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).

  • 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.
