Digital elevation models (DEMs) generated by the TanDEM-X mission from synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) provide an excellent potential resource to study the geodetic mass balance of glaciers. However, they typically suffer from a negative bias in surface elevations on glacierized terr...
