Austrian glacier inventory 1969 (G I)

The Austrian glacier inventory 1969 was compiled from airborne photogrammetry dating from September and October 1969. It includes not only area and surface elevation, but also a number of other parameters as aspect, maximum and minimum elevation, position, ablation and accumulation area. The dataset published here are the orginal results. In course of the compilation of the second Austrian glacier inventory, the photogrammetric data partly has been reanalysed. While in this data set snow areas connected to the glaciers and snow patches in the upper parts of the glacier have not been added to the glacier area, the second glacier inventory included the snow patches.
