A new 1 km digital elevation model of Antarctica derived from combined radar and laser data – Part 2: Validation and error estimates

We have developed a new digital elevation model (DEM) of Antarctica from a combination of satellite radar and laser altimeter data. Here, we assess the accuracy of the DEM by comparison with airborne altimeter data from four campaigns covering a wide range of surface slopes and ice sheet regions. Ro...
