A selected number of the glaciers have been sampled seasonally, whilst the rest are sampled annually. The Calving Front Location (CFL) of outlet glaciers from ice sheets is a basic parameter for ice dynamic modelling, for computing the mass fluxes at the calving gate, and for mapping glacier area change. From the ice velocity at the calving front and the time sequence of Calving Front Locations the iceberg calving rate can be computed which is of relevance for estimating the export of ice mass to the ocean. The CFL product is a collection of ESRI shapefile in latitude and longitude, WGS84 projection.
