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.
