Greenland 5 km DEM, Ice Thickness, and Bedrock Elevation Grids, Version 1
공공데이터포털
A Digital Elevation Model (DEM), ice thickness grid, and bedrock elevation grid of Greenland, acquired as part of the PARCA program. DEM data are a combination of ERS-1 and Geosat satellite radar altimetry data, Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM) data, and photogrammetric digital height data. Ice thickness data are based on approximately 700,000 data points collected in the 1990s from a University of Kansas airborne Ice Penetrating Radar (IPR). Nearly 30,000 data points were collected in the 1970s from a Technical University of Denmark (TUD) airborne echo sounder.The ice thickness grid was subtracted from the DEM to produce a grid of bedrock elevation values. Data set applications include studies of gravitational driving stress and ice volume (mass balance) of the Greenland Ice Sheet.
SnowEx23 Airborne Lidar-Derived 0.5M Snow Depth and Canopy Height V001
공공데이터포털
This data set provides digital terrain models, snow depth, and canopy height, acquired by a scanning lidar system and derived from Point Cloud Digital Terrain Models (PCDTMs) from two regions of Alaska, USA collected as part of the NASA SnowEx 2023 field campaign. The study sites include a boreal forest environment in the Fairbanks region of central Alaska (the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest, Caribou Poker Creek watershed, and Farmer’s Loop/Creamer’s Field) and a coastal tundra environment in the North Slope region of the northern Alaska coastal plain (Arctic coastal plain and Upper Kuparuk Toolik). The raw data from which these data are derived are available as SnowEx23 Airborne Lidar Scans Raw, Version 1.
SnowEx17 CRREL Differential GNSS Survey V001
공공데이터포털
This data set contains the coordinates of SnowEx infrastructure in Grand Mesa, Colorado, collected through a differential GNSS real-time kinematic (RTK) survey. The surveys were conducted at 244 stakes along 90 transects, 31 snow pits, 24 time-lapse cameras, and 15 reference poles used to estimate snow depth from camera images. Data files report the name, location, elevation, horizontal and vertical precision, date and time, original easting and northing, and any relevant notes for each survey point. Readings were collected using a Trimble R8 GNSS base station and two rovers: a Trimble R8 (Hiemstra) and a Trimble R10 (Gelvin). Both rovers were deployed within approximately 6km of the base station and equipped with a GNSS antennae and a base-station radio antennae from which to receive corrections.
