Statement

Methodology:

113 digital elevation models (DEMs) between 13/02/20112 and 09/05/2018 were generated interferometrically from TanDEM-X synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data supplied by DLR. The mean surface elevation along a 5.4 km profile, at an elevation of approximately 330 m, between (68.662°N, 32.994°W) and (68.632°N, 33.096°W) was calculated for each DEM.

Data collection:

The interferometry was carried out using Gamma Remote Sensing software. There are 113 data points.

Data quality:

Relative accuracy is probably +/- 2 m, absolute accuracy +/- 10 m.
