Dataset

Most glaciers currently decline because of the rapid climate change. This dataset provides the glacier surface elevation change rates from radar altimetry presented in the accompanied article. The dataset includes all glaciers in the Arctic that are index in the Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) version 7.0. The data are derived from the European Space Agency's (ESA) mission CryoSat-2, which is best suited for glaciers covering several square kilometers. Where no observations were available we interpolated using statistical methods. The present dataset allows insights into dynamics of single glaciers, as well as into regional or Arctic-wide trends.


The source data were provided by the European Space Agency (ESA).

The dataset was produced with cryoswath equivalent to version 0.2.2.
