Description
Summary:<!--!introduction!--> As the result of changes in ice dynamics and weather-driven changes on the surface, surface elevation changes over ice sheets are sensitive to climate forcing. Thus, long-term surface elevation changes over ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica are of essential to assess the impact of climate change. Here, a dataset of monthly surface elevation time series over ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica at 5km grid resolution using ERS-1, ERS-2, Envisat, and CryoSat-2 radar altimeter observations from August 1991 to December 2020. An updated plane-fitting least-squares regression strategy and Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) reconstruction were applied to ensure the accuracy and self-consistency of the merged elevation time series in the data processing. In addition, the cross-comparison with the IceBridge airborne laser altimeter observations confirmed that our merged dataset is reliable. Benefiting from its high temporal and spatial resolutions, the evolution processes on ... : The 28th IUGG General Assembly (IUGG2023) (Berlin 2023) ...
