Abstract
The first polar orbiting satellite lidar instrument, the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS), was launched in 2003 and is approaching six months of data operations. As part of the NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) project, the GLAS instrument is intended as a laser sensor fulfilling complementary requirements for several Earth science disciplines including atmospheric and surface applications on the Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite. In This work we present examples of atmospheric measurement results and explain data products now accessible for the science community.
