Movie ID Title
The animation of Arctic sea ice from January 1 through September 12, with a two second hold on September 12, 2008. The date is displayed in the upper left corner. 3561 Close view of 2008 Arctic Sea Ice from AMSR-E

This image shows the 3 regions in North Africa: The Sahara, the Sahel, and the Sudan. The Sahel, a word derived from the Arabic ’sahil’ meaning shore, is a semi-arid belt of barren, sandy and rock-strewn land which stretches 3,860km across the breadth of the African continent and marks the physical and cultural divide between the continent’s more fertile south (the Sudan Region) and Saharan desert north. 3539 BlueMarble Next Generation Images from Terra/MODIS

This animation compares the 2005 annual Arctic minimum sea ice from 09/21/2005 (shown in orange) with the 2007 minimum sea ice from 09/14/2007. The average minimum sea ice from 1979 through 2007 is shown in green. 3474 Minimum Sea Ice Comparison: 2005, 2007 and the 1979-2007 Average
This animation shows a two zooms on a split screen: one to the United States and the other to the Arctic. The Arctic shows the 2005 sea ice minimum extent and fades to show the 2007 minimum extent. The state of California is placed in the melt region as a comparison of the area of the region. 3470 Comparison of Minimum Sea Ice Between 2005 and 2007 - Split Screen
This animation shows a comparison between the 2005 and 2007 minimum sea ice extent. The state of California, shown in green, is compared to the area of melted region. 3469 Comparison of Minimum Sea Ice between 2005 and 2007 - Full Screen
This animation shows the flow of the Jakobshavn glacier in 2000, followed by a time series of the glacier's retreat from 2001 through 2006. When pulling away from Greenland, a colored overlay shows the changes in the ice sheet elevation between 2003 and 2006. 3467 Updated Jakobshavn Glacier Calving Front Retreat from 2001 through 2006 with Blue/White Elevation Change over Greenland
This animation progresses at a rate of six frames per day from January 1, 2007 through the minimum extent which occurred on September 14, 2007. The false color of the sea ice highlights the fissures in blue and consolidated sea ice in white. 3466 2007 Arctic Sea Ice from AMSR-E with Greenland in Foreground
This image shows changes in the elevation over the Greenland ice sheet as colors displayed over topography of Greenland measured by ICESat. 3460 Change in Elevation over Greenland with Alternate Color Scale
This image shows the minimum sea ice extent that occurred on September 14, 2007. 3456 2007 Arctic Sea Ice from AMSR-E with Alaska in Foreground
This image portrays changes in the elevation over the Greenland ice sheet onto topography of Greenland measured by ICESat. 3455 Nadir View of Change in Elevation over Greenland with a Blue/Yellow Color Scale
Sea ice concentration3-year moving average from 1979-1981 through 2004-2006. 3445 Sea Ice Minimum Concentration 3-year moving averages for 1979-1981 to 2004-2006
This animation shows the flow of the Jakobshavn glacier in 2000, followed by a time series of the glacier's retreat from 2001 through 2006. When pulling away from Greenland, a colored overlay shows the changes in the ice sheet elevation between 2003 and 2006. 3434 Updated Jakobshavn Glacier Calving Front Retreat from 2001 through 2006
Animation zooms to view the ice shelf from overhead and sequences through the satellite images showing the breakup. The overlay shows the region of interest and the date and time. 3429 Ayles Ice Shelf Breakup Viewed from Overhead

This animation starts from a global view and zooms into the Ayles Ice Shelf. The region is identified by a red outline. The shelf itself is identified by two flashes of solid red before the ice shelf breakup is shown. A date/time bar shows the progression of time. 3401 Ayles Ice Shelf Breakup in Arctic
This image of the Jakobshavn glacier on 07/07/2001 shows the changes in the glacier's calving front between 1851 and 2006.
