Dataset belonging to the article: Exposure to Underestimated Channelized Melt in Antarctic Ice Shelves

This dataset contains two different data types:
- Basal melt rates (.tif)
- Basal channels (.shp)

Basal melt rates:
Basal melt rates are separated into different files based on the ice shelf.
The name of the file corresponds to the ice shelf.
Always be aware that remote sensing derived basal melt rates should be used with caution near grounding zones!

Basal channels:
The basal channels are divided into three separate files:
all_channels: all channels detected
slope_limited_channels: a subset of all_channels where channel with high slopes are removed
studied_channels: a subset of slope_limited_channels where all channels can be considered to experience active melting

Please have a look at the associated article for further descriptions.
