Description / Table of Contents:
A gridded surface elevation data set and a geo-referenced data base for the Seasat radar altimeter data over Greenland are described in this volume. It is intended to be a "user's guide" to accompany the data provided to data centers and other users. The grid points are on a polar stereogrphic projection with a nominal spacing of 20 km. The gridded elevations are derived from the elevation data in the geo-referenced data base by a weigthed fitting of a surface in the neighborhood of each grid point. The gridded elevations are useful for the creating of large-scale contour maps, and examining individual elevation measurements in specific geographic areas. Tape formats are described, ans a FORTRAN program for reading the data tape is listed and provided on the tape. For more details of the data processing procedures and corrections that were derived and applied to the data, see Volume 1 of this series.
