MEaSUREs ITS_LIVE Antarctic Quarterly 1920 m Ice Shelf Height Change and Basal Melt Rates, 1992-2017 V001
This ITS_LIVE data set, part of the Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Program, includes quarterly estimates of Antarctic ice shelf surface elevation, thickness, basal melt rate, surface mass balance, firn air content, and associated errors, from 17 March 1992 through 16 December 2017 at 1920 m resolution.
The data were generated from four European Space Agency (ESA) satellite radar altimetry missions—ERS-1, ERS-2, Envisat, and CryoSat-2—using a novel data fusion approach and the Glacier Energy and Mass Balance model (GEMB).
