摘要：
Geosat Follow On (GFO) radar altimeter data are processed with previous altimeter datasets to measure long-term elevation change of higher elevation portions of the southern Greenland ice sheet over time periods from 1978-1988, 1985-2002, and 1978-2002. Average elevation change results indicate approximately zero overall elevation change for all time periods. The results also indicate that upper-elevation thinning in southeast Greenland has been widespread and has existed for several decades.
