Within C3S, the University of Zurich produces regional-scale glacier inventories as a contribution to the Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI).
These inventories usually cover large mountain ranges or specific regions not addressed by other RGI contributors. As the inventories created by C3S are firstly submitted to the Global Land Ice Measurements from Space (GLIMS) database before they are possibly selected for the RGI, they do not appear directly in the Climate Data Store. Instead, they are provided internally to the C3S team as Interim Climate Data Records (ICDRs) for inspection, and some of the associated documentation (e.g. the Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document and Product Quality Assessment Report) directly refers to these C3S-generated datasets.
This page documents transparently what has been provided by C3S to GLIMS, and lists in Table 1 the generated datasets along with relevant metadata and links to the datasets. The list is updated once new datasets have been created and released.
RGI Nr. | Region | Epoch | Source | Publication | Link |

Table 1: Overview and metadata of the glacier outlines created by C3S and provided to GLIMS. The column ‘RGI Nr.’ refers to the number of the first order region in the RGI, the column ‘Epoch’ gives the date or date range the outlines refer to.
