500 metre interval contours of Antarctica derived from ERS radar altimetry data.
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
500 metre interval contours of the Antarctic continent derived from slope corrected orthometric heights that were captured using European Remote Sensing (ERS) radar altimetry.
Description
ESA's two European Remote Sensing (ERS) satellites, ERS-1 and 2, were launched into the same orbit in 1991 and 1995 respectively. Their payloads included a synthetic aperture imaging radar, radar altimeter and instruments to measure ocean surface temperature and wind fields.
ERS-2 added an additional sensor for atmospheric ozone monitoring. The two satellites acquired a combined data set extending over two decades. The ERS-1 mission ended on 10 March 2000 and ERS-2 was retired on 05 September 2011.
