RESEARCH/REVIEW ARTICLE A new DEM of the Austfonna ice cap by combining differential SAR interferometry with ICESat laser altimetry
We present a new digital elevation model (DEM) of the Austfonna ice cap in the Svalbard Archipelago, Norwegian Arctic. Previous DEMs derived from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and optical shape-from-shading have been tied to airborne radio echo-sounding surface profiles from 1983 which contain an e...
