  • This dataset provides an ice velocity map for the whole Greenland ice-sheet for the winter of 2013-2014, derived from RADARSAT-2 data, as part of the ESA Greenland Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project. The ice velocity data were derived from intensity-tracking of RADARSAT-2 data aquired between 21/1/2014 and 02/04/2014. The data are provided on a polar stereographic grid (EPSG3413: Latitude of true scale 70N, Reference Longitude 45E). The horizontal velocity is provided in true meters per day, towards the Eastings and Northings direction of the grid; the vertical displacement, derived from a digital elevation model, is also provided. Both a single NetCDF file (including all measurements and annotation), and separate geotiff files with the velocity components are provided. This product was generated by DTU Space - Microwaves and Remote Sensing.

  • 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.

  • This dataset provides an ice velocity map for the whole Greenland ice-sheet for the winter of 2014-2015, derived from Sentinel-1 SAR data, as part of the ESA Greenland Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project. The data are provided on a polar stereographic grid (EPSG3413: Latitude of true scale 70N, Reference Longitude 45E). The horizontal velocity is provided in true meters per day, towards the EASTING(x) and NORTHING(y) directions of the grid; the vertical displacement (z), derived from a digital elevation model, is also provided. Please note that previous versions of this product provided the horizontal velocities as true East and North velocities.
