Radiometric calibration and reflectivity inversion of spaceborne LiDAR
Applied OpticsLight detection and ranging (LiDAR) onboard satellites are used not only for global height measurement but also to actively obtain global surface reflectance, which helps in separating surface targets on the basis of their reflectivity properties. In this paper, methods for obtaining surface reflectance with the LiDAR onboard the Terrestrial Ecosystem ...

Design Considerations for Spaceborne Lidars
1987Spaceborne lidars promise the capability to determine important meteorological parameters, with a height resolution and accuracy required for improved weather forecasting and understanding of the climate. Lidars can advantageously complement passive sounders due to their ability to perform depth resolved measurements with excellent vertical resolution,

Wildlife Applications of GEDI, Spaceborne LiDAR
The NASA Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) is a spaceborne light detection and ranging system (LiDAR) focused on characterizing the three-dimensional structure of Earth’s temperate and tropical forests. A primary objective of GEDI is to assess the linkages between forest structure, habitat quality, and biodiversity at large spatial scales.Brent Barry +3 more

Potentials and Capabilities of a Spaceborne Backscatter Lidar for Meteorology
1987The approaching realization of a spaceborne monostatic, single-wavelength backscatter lidar promises to achieve global measurements of some atmospheric states and constituents with an excellent height resolution of about 100 m. Possible applications in atmospheric science are reviewed, particularly, lidar height profiles can complement passive remote ...
