Concept information
Preferred term
GLANL
Definition
- The Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) instrument on ICESat will determine the distance from the satellite to the Earth's surface and to intervening clouds and aerosols. It will do this by precisely measuring the time it takes for a short pulse of laser light to travel to the reflecting object and return to the satellite. http://glas.gsfc.nasa.gov/ (en)
