Satellite radar altimetry over ice. Volume 4: Users' guide for Antarctica elevation data from Seasat
A gridded surface-elevation data set and a geo-referenced data base for the Seasat radar altimeter data over Greenland are described. This is a user guide to accompany the data provided to data centers and other users. The grid points are on a polar stereographic projection with a nominal spacing of...
