This is an animation showing data from ICESat's Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS). Aerosol data are shown spanning 80 passes over the Africa region from October 4 through October 28 2003. The data are initially shown in the time order collected using an 8 day moving time window. After that, the first 40 passes are all shown at once and a flown over.
