Overview
This data set, part of the NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Program, contains 6 and 12 day surface velocity estimates for the Greenland Ice Sheet and periphery. Velocities are derived from images acquired by the European Space Agency (ESA) Copernicus Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B satellites.
See Greenland Ice Mapping Project (GrIMP) for related data sets.
