ESA Greenland Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (Greenland_Ice_Sheet_cci): Ice Velocity time series for the Helheim glacier from ERS-1, ERS-2 and Envisat data for 1996-2010, v1.1

This dataset contains a time series of ice velocities for the Helheim glacier in Greenland derived from intensity-tracking of ERS-1, ERS-2 and Envisat data acquired between 29/05/1996 and 26/2/2010. It provides components of the ice velocity and the magnitude of the velocity and has been produced by 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) with 500m grid spacing. The image pairs have a repeat cycle of 35 days. The horizontal velocity is provided in true meters per day, towards EASTING(x) and NORTHING(y) direction of the grid, and the vertical displacement (z), derived from a digital elevation model, is also provided.The product was generated by GEUS (Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland).
