ESA Antarctic Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (Antarctic_Ice_Sheet_cci): Antarctic Ice Sheet monthly Gravimetric Mass Balance basin product, v3.0, 2002-2020
This dataset contains the Gravimetric Mass Balance (GMB) basin product for the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), generated by TU Dresden as part of the ESA Antarctic Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiatve (Antarctic_Ice_Sheet_cci).
The Gravimetric Mass Balance (GMB) product for the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is based on monthly snapshots of the Earth’s gravity field provided by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and its follow-on satellite mission (GRACE-FO). The product relies on monthly gravity field solutions (L2) of release 06 generated at the Center for Space Research (University of Texas at Austin) and spans the period from April 2002 through July 2020. The GMB product covers the full GRACE mission period (April 2002 - June 2017) and is extended by means of GRACE-FO data starting from June 2018, thus including 187 monthly solutions. The mass change estimation is based on the tailored sensitivity kernel approach developed at TU Dresden. (Groh & Horwath, 2021)
The GMB basin product provides time series of integrated mass changes for 26 drainage basins and the aggregations of the Antarctic Peninsula, East Antarctica, West Antarctica and the entire AIS. Based on the GMB basin product, ice mass balance estimates, i.e. linear trend in the change in ice mass, were derived for all drainage basins and aggregations. A gridded GMB product is also available as a separate dataset.
