ESA Greenland Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (Greenland_Ice_Sheet_cci): Ice Velocity data for the Greenland Margin from ERS-2 for winter 1995-1996, v1.1 (June 2016 release)

The data were derived from intensity-tracking of ERS-2 data acquired between 03-09-1995 and 29-03-1996. It provides components of the ice velocity and the magnitude of the velocity.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.Both a single NetCDF file (including all measurements and annotation), and separate geotiff files with the velocity components are provided.
