  • This dataset contains methane concentration measurements from the British Antarctic Survey's Halley Research Station in Antarctica. The Picarro G2301 analyser was used for the measurement of Methane and located at the Clean Air Sector Laboratory (CASLab). Data times were averaged from the 1 minute data to provide hourly data sets. The UK participation of the Methane Observations and Yearly Assessments (MOYA) project was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC, grant: NE/N015584/1)

  • This dataset contains grounding line locations (GLL) for key glaciers in Antarctica, produced as part of the ESA Antarctic Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (Antarctic_Ice_Sheet_cci) project. The data have been derived from satellite observations from the ERS-1/2, TerraSAR-X and Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellites, acquired between 1994 and 2020.

  • This dataset contains carbon dioxide concentration measurements from the British Antarctic Survey's Halley Research Station in Antarctica. The Picarro G2301 analyser was used for the measurement of carbon dioxide and located at the Clean Air Sector Laboratory (CASLab). Data times were averaged from the 1 minute data to provide hourly data sets. The UK participation of Southern OceaN optimal Approach To Assess the carbon state, variability and climatic drivers (SONATA) was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC, grant: NE/P021360/1).

  • Grounding line locations (GLL) data for the Ferringo, Pine Island, Thwaites, Smith, Kohler and Pope Glaciers in Antarctica, produced by the ESA Antarctic Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project. The grounding lines have been derived from satellite observations from the ERS-1/2 and Copernicus Sentinel-1 instruments, acquired in the period from 1995-2017.

  • Grounding line locations (GLL) data for the Ferringo, Pine Island, Thwaites, Smith, Kohler and Pope Glaciers in Antarctica, produced by the ESA Antarctic Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project. The grounding lines have been derived from satellite observations from the ERS-1/2 and Copernicus Sentinel-1 instruments, acquired in the period from 1995-2017. An extended dataset of Grounding line locations for these Glaciers is available on the ENVEO CryoPortal (http://cryoportal.enveo.at/data/)

  • This dataset contains the Gravimetric Mass Balance (GMB) gridded product for the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), generated by TU Dresden as part of the ESA Antarctic Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiatve (Antarctic_Ice_Sheet_cci). The Gravimetric Mass Balance (GMB) product for the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is based on monthly snapshots of the Earth’s gravity field provided by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and its follow-on satellite mission (GRACE-FO). The product relies on monthly gravity field solutions (L2) of release 06 generated at the Center for Space Research (University of Texas at Austin) and spans the period from April 2002 through July 2020. The GMB product covers the full GRACE mission period (April 2002 - June 2017) and is extended by means of GRACE-FO data starting from June 2018, thus including 187 monthly solutions. The mass change estimation is based on the tailored sensitivity kernel approach developed at TU Dresden. (Groh & Horwath, 2021) The GMB gridded product comprises time series of ice mass changes for cells of polar-stereographic grid with a sampling of 50x50 km² covering the entire AIS. A GMB basin product is also available as a separate dataset. Groh, A. & Horwath, M. (2021). Antarctic Ice Mass Change Products from GRACE/GRACE-FO Using Tailored Sensitivity Kernels.

The mass change estimation is based on the tailored sensitivity kernel approach developed at TU Dresden. (Groh & Horwath, 2021) The GMB basin product provides time series of integrated mass changes for 26 drainage basins and the aggregations of the Antarctic Peninsula, East Antarctica, West Antarctica and the entire AIS. Based on the GMB basin product, ice mass balance estimates, i.e. linear trend in the change in ice mass, were derived for all drainage basins and aggregations. A gridded GMB product is also available as a separate dataset. Groh, A. & Horwath, M. (2021). Antarctic Ice Mass Change Products from GRACE/GRACE-FO Using Tailored Sensitivity Kernels.

  • This dataset constists of an ice velocity time series for Pine Island Glacier, Antarctica, derived from Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite data acquired from 2014 to 2016. It has been produced by the ESA Antarctic Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project. The data format is 3-layer GeoTiff: the first two layers represent the horizontal displacement component easting and northing respectively in output map coordinates and converted to meters per day [m/d]. The third layer represents the vertical velocity and is derived from the height difference along the displacement vector taken from a Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The method employed to produce this dataset was presented in: Nagler, T., Rott, H., Hetzenecker, M., Wuite, J., Potin, P. (2015). The Sentinel-1 Mission: New Opportunities for Ice Sheet Observations. Remote Sensing, 2015, 7, 9371-9389, doi:10.3390/rs70709371.
