A new Greenland digital elevation model derived from ICESat-2 during 2018–2019

Abstract 5.8 × 10 8 - 0.48  m. The performance of the grids obtained by model fit and interpolation was similar, both of which agreed well with the IceBridge data. DEM uncertainty rises in regions of low latitude and high slope or roughness. Furthermore, the ICESat-2 DEM showed significant accuracy improvements compared with other altimeter-derived DEMs, and the accuracy was comparable to those derived from stereophotogrammetry and interferometry. Overall, the ICESat-2 DEM showed excellent accuracy stability under various topographic conditions, which can provide a specific time-stamped DEM with high accuracy that will be useful to study Greenland elevation and mass balance changes. The Greenland DEM and its uncertainty are available at 10.11888/Geogra.tpdc.271336 (Fan et al., 2021).
