ESA Greenland Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (Greenland_Ice_Sheet_cci): Ice Velocity data for the Greenland Margin from the PALSAR instrument for winters 2006-2011 (April 2016 release)

This dataset contains ice velocities for the Greenland margin for winter 1995-1996. This dataset has been produced by the ESA Greenland Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project.

This dataset consists of ice velocity maps which have been generated from PALSAR data on the ALOS satellite for the winters between 2006-2011. The data is supplied on a 500m polar stereographic grid. The ice velocity product contain the horizontal components, vN and vE, of the total velocity vector, which is derived from radar measurements assuming surface parallel flow. The used digital elevation model of the surface is also supplied. The North and East velocities at any grid points are given in a local geographic north-east coordinates system (and not in the used grid map projection system).
