Antarctic and Greenland
Ice Sheet Elevation and Mass Change Data

Surface Elevation and Mass Balance Data products will be available from Dec 2023.

Products

Ice sheet elevation and mass balance processed monthly. Quarterly distribution and user report. Annual system reports. Annual scientific reports.

Surface elevation change

This data product is suitable for investigating where surface elevation change occurs and the rate at which it occurs over the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The elevation change product can also be used to explore the processes that drive changes to the ice sheets. Ice sheet surface elevation change is indicative of mass change.

Mass balance

This data product is suitable for understanding the current state and changes to the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. By measuring mass balance at 5 km2 resolution, it will be possible to investigate spatiotemporal variability, where mass changes occur and the rate at which they occur. This information is crucial for estimating the ice sheet contribution to sea level rise.
