Statement

The Altiberg database contains the small iceberg (<3km in length) detected by various spaceborne altimetesr using the high resolution waveforms. The level 2 products are the individual detected iceberg files (in matlab or netcfdf). The level 3 product contains antarctic polar sterographic 100 km resolution grids of monthly volume of ice, probability of presence of icebergs and mean iceberg area. The database is processed independently for the following altimetry missions : GeoSAT, ERS-1, ERS-2, Jason-1, Jason-2, Jason-3, HY-2A, CryoSat-2, Topex, Envisat and AltiKa. A merged product combining all the available altimeters is also provided.
