abstract	This dataset contains a time series of ice velocities for the Petermann glacier in Greenland derived from intensity-tracking of ERS-1, ERS-2 and Envisat data acquired between 16/08/1991 and 01/06/2010. It provides components of the ice velocity and the magnitude of the velocity and has been produced by the ESA Greenland Ice Sheet Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project. The data are provided on a polar stereographic grid (EPSG3413: Latitude of true scale 70N, Reference Longitude 45E) with 500m grid spacing. Image pairs with a repeat cycle of 1 to 35 days are used. The horizontal velocity is provided in true meters per day, towards EASTING(x) and NORTHING(y) direction of the grid, and the vertical displacement (z), derived from a digital elevation model, is also provided. The product was generated by GEUS (Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland).
