We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.Read about the Web Unification Project
Description
This data set, part of the NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) program, consists of annual (1 July to 30 June), 1 km resolution maps of ice component velocities for the Antarctic ice sheet. Data are provided for the year 2000-2001 and for each year from 2005 to 2025. Velocities are derived by applying interferometric analysis techniques to synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data acquired by various satellites and sensors and by feature tracking of optical imagery acquired by Landsat-8.
This data set was originally titled "MEaSUREs Annual Antarctic Ice Velocity Maps 2005-2017."
Citation is critically important for dataset documentation and discovery. This dataset is openly shared, without restriction, in accordance with the EOSDIS Data Use and Citation Guidance.
