Description

PROMICE-2022 Ice Mask QGIS Bundle

This dataset contains the PROMICE-2022 Ice Mask packaged as a ready-to-use QGIS project. The zipped bundle includes the QGIS project file and all associated vector/raster layers and styles, so you can open the project directly and view the pre-styled layers in a GIS environment.

Contents

  • QGIS project file (.qgz) with preconfigured layouts
  • Raster and vector layers of the PROMICE-2022 ice mask
  • WMS layer for the topographic map of Greenland
  • WMS layer for SPOT 6/7 imagery
  • WMS layers for Sentinel-2 imagery (2022)
  • Layer style files
  • README with usage notes

Brief description

The PROMICE-2022 Ice Mask provides an updated delineation of ice/non-ice areas of the Greenland Ice Sheet from August 2022. It is intended for visualization, mapping, and as an input layer for further geospatial analysis in QGIS or other GIS software. For detailed methodology, processing steps, validation, and full technical documentation, please consult the primary repository (link below).
