CryoTEMPO-EOLIS: Elevation Over Land Ice from Swath

CRYOtempo-eolis in action

Phase 1: Ice Sheets

Phase 2: Mountain Glaciers

THE CRYOtempo-eolis products

The EOLIS products exploit CryoSat’s SARIn mode and the novel Swath processing technique to deliver increased spatial and temporal coverage of time-dependent elevation over land ice, a critical metric for tracking ice mass trends. The CryoTEMPO EOLIS products are the operational result of research and development projects CryoTop and CryoTop-Evolution.

Version 1.2 of the “CryoTempo-EOLIS: Elevation Over Land Ice from Swath” products has now been released. The following products are available:

SWATH THEMATIC POINT PRODUCT

The EOLIS point product contains a dense set of elevation measurements for individual observations.

SWATH THEMATIC GRIDDED PRODUCT

The EOLIS DEM is a monthly 2km resolution DEM with the data sourced from a rolling 3-month window.
