New data set release: High Mountain Asia 2 m DEM, Surface Velocity, and Lagrangian Surface Mass Balance for Select Debris Covered Glaciers, Version 1

High Mountain Asia 2 m DEM, Surface Velocity, and Lagrangian Surface Mass Balance for Select Debris Covered Glaciers, Version 1, is now available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). This data set contains 2 m resolution digital elevation models (DEMs), surface velocities, surface mass balance (SMB) rates, and SMB uncertainties for six debris-covered glaciers in Nepal. SMB rate is estimated by applying a Lagrangian specification to DEMs derived from very-high-resolution optical stereo imagery acquired by Maxar Technologies satellites WorldView-1, WorldView 2, WorldView-3, and GeoEye-1. Temporal coverage for the entire data set is from December 2012 through December 2017, with coverage for any given glacier approximately a 1-2 year period within the complete data set coverage.
