Velocity map of the Thwaites Glacier catchment, West Antarctica
The two-dimensional surface velocity of Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica, was mapped with 23 ascending and 22 descending orbit European Remote Sensing satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (ERS SAR) interferograms (time range 1995-2000). The velocity map covers 175,500 square km from the Amundsen Coas...

Summary: | The two-dimensional surface velocity of Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica, was mapped with 23 ascending and 22 descending orbit European Remote Sensing satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (ERS SAR) interferograms (time range 1995-2000). The velocity map covers 175,500 square km from the Amundsen Coast to the southern turning point of the satellite orbit and comprises over 80% of the Thwaites catchment. |
