Summary
Abstract: The NASA IceBridge MCoRDS L3 Gridded Ice Thickness, Surface, and Bottom (IRMCR3) data set contains products from depth sounder measurements over Greenland and Antarctica taken from the Multichannel Coherent Radar Depth Sounder (MCoRDS). Products include flightlines, boundaries, grids, preview images, and crossover analysis. The data were collected as part of Operation IceBridge funded campaigns, and are stored in Comma Separate Value (CSV), Portable Network Graphics (PNG), Tag Image File Format (TIFF), Tiff World File (TFW), and ArcGIS shape files, and are available via FTP for periodic, ongoing campaigns from 2010 to the present, with additional 1995 to 2011 composite Greenland data.
