Description
This dataset contains the median glacier surface velocity for the Central and Eastern Himalaya glacier velocities 2017-2019 (Sentinel 2). The velocities have been obtained by feature-tracking of November Sentinel 2 images spaced 1 year apart.
The folder contains the following fields at 80 m resolution in GeoTiff format:
the velocity magnitude 'vel' (meters per year)
the x/y velocity components x_vel/y_vel (meters per year)
the associated errors err, x_err, y_err (meters per year)
the median absolute deviation of all the merged velocities 'MAD' (meters per year)
the number of image pairs that have been merged in the median
I recommend filtering data with error larger than 5 m/yr.
