Antarctic GRACE Animation


Movie generated on 2016-03-16 using 150 GRACE spherical harmonic solutions from the University of Texas, Center for Space Research (CSR). Data is corrected for glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) using coefficients from Ivins et al. (2013), smoothed using a 400km radius Gaussian filter (Wahr et al., 1998), and filtered for seasonal effects (Velicogna, 2009)
