This paper deals with the comparison of coregistration offset tracking velocities in the inner part of the David Glacier (Antarctica), obtained with SAR sensors characterized by different wavelengths and spatial resolutions: Cosmo-SkyMED (X band) and RADARSAT-2 (C band). Particular attention has bee...
