Data sets
Kinematic GNSS profiles in central East Antarctica L. Schröder https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.869761
Short summary
The paper describes the processing of kinematic GNSS data observed over nine seasons in East Antarctica. The obtained surface elevation profiles are used to validate several data sets of satellite altimetry. Thus, we find a clear recommendation that processing versions provide the highest accuracy and precision. The profiles are used to derive a new set of ICESat laser campaign biases and finally, to evaluate several DEMs.
