Description: |
ICESat (Ice, Cloud,and land Elevation Satellite) is the benchmark Earth Observing System mission for measuring ice sheet mass
balance, cloud and aerosol heights, as well as land topography and vegetation characteristics. The ICESat mission will provide
multi-year elevation data needed to determine ice sheet mass balance as well as cloud property information, especially for
stratospheric clouds common over polar areas. It will also provide topography and vegetation data around the globe, in addition
to the polar-specific coverage over the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets.
