Greenland: Raw Data Flight Paths Showing Ice Change
Raw data flight paths over Greenland as they were collected. Match-moved to to airplane animation #580.
Animation of flight paths over Greenland showing ice thickness change data from the Airborne Topographic Mapper
Raw data flight paths colored by ice thickness change data from the Airborne Topographic Mapper
Video slate image reads, "Greenland Ice Changes (GIC 2)
Shows all the flight paths (with associated raw data) taken from Laser Altimeter equipped aircraft over Greenland. This scene matches the tail of scene GIC 1, allowing a dissolve to occur between GIC 1 and GIC 2, if desired".
