Ice sheet changes – satellites
Elevation measurements: •! Radar altimetry (ERS-1, ERS-2, EnviSat, CryoSat ..) •! Laser altimetry (NASA IceSat..) Measures height of the surface from space – few cm accuracy ! Measurements of gravity field changes: •! Satellite-to-satellite ranging (NASA/DLR GRACE 2002- ..) Direct measurement of mass loss ! Measurements of ice flow velocity: •! Radar interferometri (ERS, EnviSat ++ .. ) Velocity and knowledge of ice thickness Can also give mass balance, when combined with radar thickness and accumulation data
