This visualization shows 2 months of high altitude atomspheric ice as measured from the Ice Cube Cubsesat satelllite.

A representation of ice particles measured by Ice Cube in the atmosphere. Lower altitude particles are generally larger; higher altitude particles are generally smaller.

Color bar for Ice Cube mean cloud ice data in grams per square meter.  Colors range from teal (0) to blue (50) to purple (100).  Lower values are less visible in the visualization because the particle sizes are smaller.
