Thwaites Glacier time series of surface elevations at (107.09 W, 75.48 S) from January 2012 to November 2020

A time series of surface elevation at a point on Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica. The point is on grounded ice and is upstream of a sub-shelf cavity on the west flank of the fast-moving core of Thwaites Glacier. There are a total of 88 points. First column = yyyy-mm-dd, second column = elevation in metres.

The work was funded by NERC projects NE/P011365/1 and NE/S006605/1.
