Gridded
Data Format:
These data files consist of three columns: longitude, latitude and value. Elevations are in meters referenced to WGS-84. Ice thickness is in meters. Web page gridded images: The values listed
above form a filled orthogonal grid at 600 meter resolution. Grids are
smoothed using a Gaussian filter (7.5 km) and surfaced using a bicubic
spline method. In keeping with NSF Grant Policy, any publication using these data (including web documents) must contain the following acknowledgment: "This material is based on work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant: OPP-9911617." Also, any oral presentation utilizing these materials should acknowledge the support of the National Science Foundation. In addition, we request that any oral presentation, web page or publication also acknowledge SOAR and the University of Texas.
