Ocean surfaces were masked\nusing the GIMP Land Classification mask and replaced with the\nCNES CLS11 mean sea surface height (Schaeffer et al., 2012).\n\n**Note**\n\n- All land elevation data is horizontally and vertically registered to average ICESat elevations for the 2003-2009 time period, and therefore the DEM has a nominal date of 2007, although care must be taken when using the DEM in areas of rapid change, such as major outlet glaciers south of 70°0N.\n- The DEM has a resolution of 30 m, although the \"true\" resolution of the DEM will vary from 40 m in areas of SPOT-5 coverage (see Korona et al. 2009) to 500 m in areas of photoclinometry.\n- The ice-sheet-wide root-mean-squared validation error relative to ICESat is +/-10 m, rangining from close to +/- 1 m over most ice surfaces to +/- 30 m in areas of high relief.\n\n[General documentation](https://doi.org/10.5067/NV34YUIXLP9W)\n\n### Bands\n\n**Bands**\n\n| Name | Units | Pixel Size | Description |\n|-------------|-------|------------|-------------|\n| `elevation` | m | 30 meters | Elevation |\n\n### Terms of Use\n\n**Terms of Use**\n\nAs a condition of using these data, you must cite the use of this\ndata set using the given citation.\n\n### Citations\n\nCitations:\n\n- Howat, I.M., A.
