TanDEM-X ice thickness dataset for Wilkins Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula, with link to GeoTIFF

The dataset shows the ice thickness over Wilkins Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula derived from TanDEM-X Interferometry. The data has been acquired between June and August 2012. The TanDEM-X heights have been linked to CryoSAT-2 heights (V. Helm) from the respective time stamp. Elevations have been transformed from WGS84 ellipsoidal heights to the EGM2008 geoid. The ice shelf thickness was estimated assuming hydrostatic equilibrium and a mean ice density of 915 kg/m³.

Projection: UTM zone 18S; image_width: 3317; image_length: 3233; grid spacing: 50 m; unit: m; format: GeoTIFFDataset is part of the DFG SPP Project BR2105/8-1
