ICESat reference tracks & Antarctic grounding zone structure
icesat function: plots the hydrostatic line, landward limit of ice flexure, and the break-in-slope associated with flexure, as described here: http://nsidc.org/data/docs/agdc/nsidc0469_brunt/index.html.
reftrack function: gives coordinates of ICESat ground tracks or reference tracks.
These functions require Antarctic Mapping Tools.
