Annual glacier surface flow velocity product from Sentinel-2 data for the European Alps

DOI

Glacier ice flow velocity is an important variable to document the past and current status of the glacier worldwide. The aim of the ESA AlpGlacier project is to create innovative products for glaciers and their environments from remote sensing data for the European Alps mountain range. The data set proposed here includes maps of annual glacier surface flow velocities for the period 2015-2021, created from Sentinel-2 optical data with the work-flow presented in Mouginot et al., 2023. It can be used for the monitoring of glacier dynamics or for hazards detection associated to glaciers destabilization, as well as an input of models calibration and validation. These products are distributed in both netCDF and GeoTiff formats, georeferenced under the UTM-32N projection.
