We have generated a new digital elevation model for entire King George Island, Antarctica, using summer TanDEM-X bistatic SAR satellite data. The data was processed using differential SAR interferometry with an older DEM as reference. 4 TanDEM-X scenes from January 2012 were used as input. The new DEM was referenced to and validated against DGPS measurements. Height values are given in reference to ellipsoid (WGS84).
Method development and processing support from project BR 2105/9-1 within the DFG SPP 1158 "Antarctic Research". This data was generated within the IMCONet EU FP7 IRSES project.
