CryoSat-2 DEMs

Interpolate or load raw CryoSat-2 DEM data from Helm et al. 2014 or Slater et al. 2018

You are now following this Submission

This is a plugin for Antarctic Mapping Tools. It consists of two functions:
1. cryosat2_data loads gridded data, and
2. cryosat2_interp interpolates surface elevation or uncertainty data to any locations.

Check the Examples tab above for function syntax, download instructions, and examples of use.
