Short summary
We compared ICESat-2 ice surface height measurements in interior Greenland with ground-based Global Positioning System (GPS) observations, finding sub-centimeter biases and centimeter-scale precision with no detectable long-term drift. We also apply an autonomous validation method using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) interferometric reflectometry (GNSS-IR) to measure surface elevation, producing comparable results and enabling more frequent, spatially distributed comparisons.
