[CRYOLIST] New satellite ECV data on Greenland ice sheet changes

Dear colleagues

 

The ESA Greenland Climate Change Initiative project has released a new set of Essential Climate Variables for the Greenland ice sheet. The new data sets include:

- CryoSat elevation change trends 2010-15 on a 5 km grid, including 2-year running means;

- Ice Velocities for the entire Greenland ice sheet on a 500 m grid from RadarSat and Sentinel-1 2013-15;

- Time series of Ice Velocities for 9 major outlet glaciers from S-1;

- Updated Calving Front Locations for main glaciers from S-1;

- Updated Grounding Line Location from S-1 for the Petermann Glacier;

- GRACE mass change products for the entire ice sheet as well as 8 main drainage basins

The data are available in netCDF, ASCII, Shapefiles or GeoTIFF formats at http://products.esa-icesheets-cci.org upon a simple registration procedure. A newsletter and further information on products can be found at the Greenland CCI web site http://www.esa-icesheets-greenland-cci.org.

 

The ESA CCI project is a cooperation of 9 different European partners from Denmark, Austria, Norway, Germany and the UK.

 

Good luck with the data
