Velocity data for two tidewater glacier surges in Svalbard, 2012-2015 ...

A time-series of velocity data spanning recent surges of two tidewater glaciers in Svalbard: Aavatsmarkbreen (Dec 2012-Oct 2015) and Wahlenbergbreen (Sept 2013-Oct 2015). The data were obtained by feature tracking using pairs of TerraSAR-X backscatter intensity images, typically at 11 day intervals....

Description
Summary:A time-series of velocity data spanning recent surges of two tidewater glaciers in Svalbard: Aavatsmarkbreen (Dec 2012-Oct 2015) and Wahlenbergbreen (Sept 2013-Oct 2015). The data were obtained by feature tracking using pairs of TerraSAR-X backscatter intensity images, typically at 11 day intervals. The GeoTiff files are spatially filtered maps of surface speed. Filenames reveal satellite beams (strips) as well as dates and times. ... : Supplement to: Sevestre, Heïdi; Benn, Douglas I; Luckman, Adrian; Nuth, Chris; Kohler, Jack; Lindbäck, Katrin; Pettersson, Rickard (2018): Tidewater Glacier Surges Initiated at the Terminus.
