Select Northern Hemisphere Glacier Velocity Maps Using Customized autoRIFT and PlanetScope Imagery V001
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
This data set consists of velocity maps and error estimates for five surge-type glaciers: Nàłùdäy/Lowell Glacier, Canada; Medvezhiy Glacier, the Pamir mountains; South Rimo Glacier, the Karakoram; Sít' Kusá Glacier, Alaska; and Aavatsmarkbreen Glacier, Spitsbergen, Svalbard.
Description
The maps are generated using CautoRIFT, a pipeline that improves temporal coverage during periods of rapid glacier motion by adding pre-processed, daily high-resolution PlanetScope images and customized feature tracking parameters for each glacier to NASA's autonomous Repeat Image Feature Tracking (autoRIFT) algorithm for Sentinel-2 and Landsat imagery.
Stable surface masks, area of interest (AOI) and glacier outlines, and ancillary data are also available for each glacier site.
