Description
Summary:Grounding line, elevation changes, and melt rates maps of Denman Glacier, East Antarctica. Using satellite radar interferometry from the COSMO-SkyMed mission we map the grounding line of Denman Glacier, East Antarctica. We complement these data with some historical interferometric radar acquisition from the European satellite ERS-1/2. We present new maps of elevation changes on the grounded and floating portions of Denman Glacier obtained by temporally differencing TanDEM-X Digital Elevation Models. The grounding line data are formatted in an ESRI shapefile format storing nontopological and attribute information (e.g. acquisition dates, orbit numbers) for the spatial features in the dataset. The title of each file carries information on the acquisition dates of the doub;e difference used to generate the grounding line shapefile. The DInSAR interferograms are stored in a GeoTiff format. The title of each file carries information on the acquisition dates of the SAR images used to generate the DInSAR Interferogram. The elevation change rates maps and the ocean-induced melt rates are similarly stored in GeoTiff files. Spatial coverage The dataset spans the area covered by Denman Glacier, East Antarctica. All the data is in polar stereographic projection with true scale at 71S.
