Zmuttgletscher flow velocity, debris cover thickness and ablation measurements during 2017

Here we provide in-situ measurements on debris cover thickness on Zmuttgletscher, Switzerland. It is one of the largest heavily debris-covered glaciers in the Alps. We further provide 2 DEMs based on UAV imagery and the respective orthophotos, as well as surface flow velocities derived from the orth...

Description
Summary:Here we provide in-situ measurements on debris cover thickness on Zmuttgletscher, Switzerland. It is one of the largest heavily debris-covered glaciers in the Alps. We further provide 2 DEMs based on UAV imagery and the respective orthophotos, as well as surface flow velocities derived from the orthophotos by automated feature tracking.
