Global Glacier and Ice Caps Mass Balance from GRACE and GRACE-FO Data (Ciracì et al., 2020)

This dataset provides mass balance estimates for glaciers and ice caps (GIC) derived from GRACE and GRACE-FO time-variable gravity data as processed by Ciracì et al. (2020). The data spans from April 2002 to September 2019 and excludes estimates for Antarctica and Greenland peripheral glaciers. It has been used in our study for a comparative analysis of global GIC trends and mass changes calculated with GRACE Mascon solutions. <br>For raw data access, the original link provided by the authors is: https://www.ess.uci.edu/~velicogna/GIC-grace-grace-fo-2020.php<br>Reference:Ciracì, E., Velicogna, I. and Swenson, S., (2020).
