Greenland: Airplane Animation Revealing Ice Change
This animation is match-moved to animation #581.
Animation of an airplane collecting ice thickness data over Greenland with the Airborne Topographic Mapper
Airplane collecting ice thickness data over Greenland
Video slate image reads, "Greenland Ice Changes (GIC 1)
Plane flies over Greenland revealing changes in elevation data taken from onboard Laser Altimeter. Airplane's motion path should be identical to previous Beach Mapping and Mars Laser Altimeter motion paths, thereby allowing a smooth dissolve between this and the other two animations".
