End-to-End Simulation for a Forest-Dedicated Full-Waveform Lidar Onboard a Satellite Initialized from Airborne Ultraviolet Lidar Experiments

Remote Sensing, 2015
In order to study forests at the global scale, a detailed link budget for a lidar system onboard satellite is presented. It is based on an original approach coupling airborne lidar observations and an end-to-end simulator. The simulator is initialized by

Statistical Analysis of Simulated Spaceborne Thermodynamics Lidar Measurements in the Planetary Boundary Layer

Frontiers in Remote Sensing, 2022
The performance of a spaceborne Raman lidar offering measurements of water vapor, temperature, aerosol backscatter and extinction is assessed statistically by use of a lidar simulator and a global model to provide inputs for simulation.

Assimilating spaceborne lidar dust extinction can improve dust forecasts [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022
Atmospheric mineral dust has a rich tri-dimensional spatial and temporal structure that is poorly constrained in forecasts and analyses when only column-integrated aerosol optical depth (AOD) is assimilated.

Assessing Novel Lidar Modalities for Maximizing Coverage of a Spaceborne System through the Use of Diode Lasers

Remote Sensing, 2022
Current satellite lidars have sparse spatial coverage, leading to uncertainty from sampling. This complicates robust change detection and does not allow applications that require continuous coverage.
