Description

This dataset contains the processed record of calving events at Store Glacier for 5th-27th July 2017 gathered by SJC using a terrestrial radar interferometer (TRI) as part of the RESPONDER project. This takes the form of four .csv files that list all detected calving events across the period of observation, as well as some associated digital elevation models (DEMs) that were used in figure production. There are also some UAV-derived DEMs gathered and processed by TRC included that were used to validate the radar observations and in the production of figures.

Version

Software / Usage instructions

The .csv files should be readable by any spreadsheet or text editing package. Calving events are grouped by time of occurrence, with volumes recorded in the same row. 'N' and 'S' appended to the name of the files in the leftmost column refer to whether the events occurred on the northern or southern half of the calving front. Only events marked as 'N' were used in the associated publication. The DEMs (as .tif files) should be readable by any GIS software. The UAV DEMs are in EPSG: 3413; the radar DEMs have not been georeferenced to any projection.
