ABoVE: Upscaled Active Layer Thickness in Northern Alaska, 2014-2017
The dataset consists of maps of estimated Active Layer Thickness (ALT) at 30-m resolution throughout the northern half of Alaska for the years 2014, 2015, and 2017. The maps were generated by using a machine learning-based regression and a set of spatial data layers to upscale ALT from narrow swaths of ALT that were retrieved from airborne high-resolution P-band Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) imagery. The data are provided in cloud-optimized GeoTIFF format.
