ESA Greenland Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (Greenland_Ice_Sheet_cci): Greenland Ice Velocity Map, Winter 2016-2017, v1.0

This dataset provides an ice velocity map for the whole Greenland ice-sheet for the winter of 2016-2017, derived from Sentinel-1 SAR data acquired from 23/12/2016 to 27/02/2017, as part of the ESA Greenland Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project. In total approximately 1800 S-1A & S-1B scenes are used to derive the surface velocity applying feature tracking techniques. The ice velocity map is provided at 500m grid spacing in North Polar Stereographic projection (EPSG: 3413). The horizontal velocity is provided in true meters per day, towards EASTING(vx) and NORTHING(vy) direction of the grid, and the vertical displacement (vz), derived from a digital elevation model is also provided. The product was generated by ENVEO (Earth Observation Information Technology GmbH).
