Growth of Greenland Ice Sheet: Measurement

Measurements of ice-sheet elevation change by satellite altimetry show that the Greenland surface elevation south of 72° north latitude is increasing. The vertical velocity of the surface is 0.20 ± 0.06 meters per year from measured changes in surface elevations at 5906 intersections between Geosat...
