A DORIS determination of the absolute velocities of the Sorsdal and Mellor glaciers in Antarctica

Through these experiments, it has been successfully demonstrated that the DORIS system is capable of determining the velocities of glaciers with an accuracy of a few cm/day over a period of several weeks; operating in remote regions in an autonomous mode. With an increasing number of DORIS-equipped satellites and multiple daily passes, it has the potential to measure glacial velocities at a high temporal resolution (sub-daily).
