ICESat-2 data classification and estimation of terrain height and canopy height
International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2023 ICESat-2 (Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2) was launched in 2018 with a photon-counting LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) system, ATLAS (Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System). It is collecting massive earth elevation data all over the world, which has shown the potential of large-scale forest monitoring.

Large-eddy simulations of surface roughness parameter sensitivity to canopy-structure characteristics [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 Surface roughness parameters, namely the roughness length and displacement height, are an integral input used to model surface fluxes. However, most models assume these parameters to be a fixed property of plant functional type and disregard the ...

Impact of height heterogeneity on canopy turbulence [PDF]
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017 The flow development above and within homogeneous and heterogeneous canopies was experimentally studied using particle image velocimetry in a refractive-index-matching channel. The experiments were designed to gain insight into the effect of height heterogeneity on the structure and spatial distribution of the turbulence.

Maximum height of mountain forests abruptly decreases above an elevation breakpoint
GIScience & Remote Sensing, 2021 Canopy height is an excellent indicator of forest productivity, biodiversity and other ecosystem functions. Yet, we know little about how elevation drives canopy height in mountain areas.
