Greenland 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 Simpson et al. (2009), smoothed using a 250km radius Gaussian filter (Wahr et al., 1998), and filtered for seasonal effects (Velicogna, 2009)
