Description
This dataset provides a complete 15 m resolution image mosaic of the Greenland ice sheet derived from Landsat 7 ETM+ and RADARSAT-1 SAR imagery from the years 1999 to 2002. The methods include a combination of image cloud masking, pan sharpening, image sampling and resizing, and image coregistration. Please see Howat, 2014 for more information regarding processing methods.
Note
- Users of GIMP DEM or GIMP 2000 Image Mosaic images may find it helpful to mask out areas outside of the Greenland coastline using the corresponding 15 m ocean mask image Greenland Ice Mapping Project (GIMP) Land Ice and Ocean Classification Mask,
- The SAR data are distributed at 20 m resolution. Data were up-sampled through bilinear interpolation to 15 m to match the resolution of Landsat band-8.
Bands
Bands
Name | Pixel Size | Wavelength | Description |
---|---|---|---|
B1 |
15 meters | 0.45 - 0.52 μm | Landsat 7 ETM+ blue |
B2 |
15 meters | 0.52 - 0.60 μm | Landsat 7 ETM+ green |
B3 |
15 meters | 0.63 - 0.69 μm | Landsat 7 ETM+ red |
B4 |
15 meters | 0.77 - 0.90 μm | Landsat 7 ETM+ near infrared |
B5 |
30 meters | 1.55 - 1.75 μm | Landsat 7 ETM+ shortwave infrared 1 |
B6_low_gain |
30 meters | 10.40 - 12.50 μm | Landsat 7 ETM+ low-gain thermal Infrared 1. This band has expanded dynamic range and lower radiometric resolution (sensitivity), with less saturation at high Digital Number (DN) values. Resampled from 60m to 30m. |
B6_high_gain |
30 meters | 10.40 - 12.50 μm | Landsat 7 ETM+ high-gain thermal Infrared 1. This band has higher radiometric resolution (sensitivity), although it has a more restricted dynamic range. Resampled from 60m to 30m. |
B7 |
30 meters | 2.08 - 2.35 μm | Landsat 7 ETM+ shortwave infrared 2 |
B8 |
15 meters | 0.52 - 0.90 μm | Landsat 7 ETM+ panchromatic |
B8_radarsat |
15 meters | RADARSAT-1 synthetic aperture radar amplitude imagery |
