Description
Summary:This report describes procedures used to process RADARSAT synthetic aperture radar data acquired over Jakobshavn Glacier, Greenland. Interferometric pairs are used to compute ice sheet surface velocities for the years 2000, 2004, 2005, and 2006 during the approximate months of November through early January of the following year. The methodology and results discussed in this report are provided in partial fulfillment of OSU’s agreement to provide remote sensing data to the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) science requirements. CReSIS’s vision is to advance understanding of polar ice sheets sufficiently for the development of models that reliably predict future ice sheet contributions to sea level rise under prescribed changes in climate.
