[CRYOLIST] New data set release: MEaSUREs Weekly-To-Monthly Greenland Outlet Glacier Terminus Positions From Sentinel-1 Mosaics, Version 1

Dear Colleague,

 

The MEaSUREs Weekly-To-Monthly Greenland Outlet Glacier Terminus Positions From Sentinel-1 Mosaics, Version 1 data set is now available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). This data set is part of the NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) program. It consists of ice front positions for 219 outlet glaciers in Greenland from 01 January 2015 through 31 December 2021. Data are derived from Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mosaics and are sampled at 6- to 12-day intervals (20 glaciers) and monthly intervals (199 glaciers), depending on the availability of satellite imagery.

 

Access to the data and documentation is provided on the data set web page at the NSIDC DAAC: https://nsidc.org/data/nsidc-0781
