Contours for the Amery Region map dated November 2002.
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Contours for the Amery Region map published by the Australian Antarctic Data Centre in November 2002 (see link below).
Description
This contour data were derived from Russian space photography, ERS-1 and ERS-2 Radar altimeter data (BKG, Germany) and the Antarctic Digital Database, Version 2. Refer to the contour source diagram - digital data (refer to metadata record ERS_CONT_SOURCE_AMERY) or view map (see link below).
The contour interval is 500 metres from 500 to 3000 metres. There are also 200 metre contours. 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.
