The methods\ninclude a combination of image cloud masking, pan sharpening,\nimage sampling and resizing, and image coregistration.\nPlease see Howat, 2014 for more information regarding\nprocessing methods.\n\n**Note**\n\n- Users of GIMP DEM or GIMP 2000 Image Mosaic images may find it helpful to mask out areas outside of the Greenland coastline using the corresponding 15 m ocean mask image Greenland Ice Mapping Project (GIMP) Land Ice and Ocean Classification Mask,\n- The SAR data are distributed at 20 m resolution. Data were up-sampled through bilinear interpolation to 15 m to match the resolution of Landsat band-8.\n\n[General documentation](https://doi.org/10.5067/4RNTRRE4JCYD)\n\n### Bands\n\n**Bands**\n\n| Name | Pixel Size | Wavelength | Description |\n|----------------|------------|------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| `B1` | 15 meters | 0.45 - 0.52 μm | Landsat 7 ETM+ blue |\n| `B2` | 15 meters | 0.52 - 0.60 μm | Landsat 7 ETM+ green |\n| `B3` | 15 meters | 0.63 - 0.69 μm | Landsat 7 ETM+ red |\n| `B4` | 15 meters | 0.77 - 0.90 μm | Landsat 7 ETM+ near infrared |\n| `B5` | 30 meters | 1.55 - 1.75 μm | Landsat 7 ETM+ shortwave infrared 1 |\n| `B6_low_gain` | 30 meters | 10.40 - 12.50 μm | Landsat 7 ETM+ low-gain thermal Infrared 1.
