CryoSat swath data boosted with new glacier regions and gridded products

21 Feb 2024

Additional products have been added to CryoTEMPO-EOLIS Baseline 2, increasing global coverage and adding to the range of available gridded data.

The following glacier regions, available from December 2023 onwards, have been added to the CryoTEMPO-EOLIS point product coverage:

  • RGI-02: Western Canada & US
  • RGI-08: Scandinavia
  • RGI-11: Central Europe
  • RGI-16: Low Latitudes
  • RGI-18: New Zealand

Follow the instructions outlined on the CryoTEMPO-EOLIS website to download the new point product regions.

 

The following glacier regions, available from November 2023 onwards, have been added to the CryoTEMPO-EOLIS gridded product coverage:

  • RGI-01: Alaska
  • RGI-03: Arctic Canada North
  • RGI-04: Arctic Canada South
  • RGI-05: Greenland Periphery
  • RGI-09: Russian Arctic
  • RGI-17: Southern Andes
  • RGI-19: Antarctic Periphery (Subantarctic and Antarctic Islands)

Follow the instructions outlined on the CryoTEMPO-EOLIS website to download the new gridded product regions.

 

In addition, the coverage of the CryoTEMPO-EOLIS products for Iceland and Svalbard has been extended, and these products now cover the full regions as defined by RGI (Randolph Glacier Inventory) 7.0.

The CryoTEMPO-EOLIS products, developed for ESA by Earthwave in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh and isardSAT, make use of CryoSat swath data to increase spatial and temporal coverage of time-dependent elevations over land ice.
