Description

Upload associated with Scientific Data submission: Glacier thickness and ice volume of the inner tropical Andes.

The dataset includes:

-Ice velocity maps for all 11 glacier regions (5 in Ecuador and 6 in Colombia)

-Ice thickness maps for all 11 glacier regions generated using the 6 different thickness calculation methods

-Multi-model ensemble mean glacier thickness maps for all 11 glacier regions

-Basin-divided ice volumes for each glacier region, with a 1 km, 5 km, and 20 km buffer

-Results of a full parameter sensitivity test for the thickness calculation

The feature-tracking code used to derive ice velocities, GIV, is available on github and Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4904544). All other code, including Google Earth Engine download scripts and the ice-thickness inversion code is available on zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6323069).
