The ESA Climate Change Initiative (www.esa-cci.org)
has launched a new project to provide selected Essential Climate Variables of
the Greenland Ice Sheet. The ECV’s include Surface Elevation Change (from radar
altimetry), Ice Velocity (from SAR), and outlet glacier Calving Front Locations
and Grounding Line Locations.
As part of the project, a fully open “Round-Robin” algorithm
intercomparison test has been launched – to aid in the selection of “best
algorithms” for the future routine ECV production. You are cordially to
participate in this test.
Instructions and data (or links to data) are available at http://roundrobin.esa-icesheets-cci.org
for the selected regions of the ice sheet.
Deadline for reporting back in end of September 2012. Results will be
anonymized, but all participants will be acknowledged for each of the 4 tests
(joint paper(s) could also be an option).
