1579 NM Fiber Laser Source for Spaceborne Monitoring of Carbon Dioxide
We report on the development of a 1579 nm pulsed fiber laser source with high peak-power, intended to be used as a lidar source for CO2 monitoring from space.

Ocean subsurface studies with the CALIPSO spaceborne lidar [PDF]
AbstractThe primary objective of the Cloud‐Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) mission is to study the climate impact of clouds and aerosols in the atmosphere. However, recent studies have demonstrated that CALIPSO also collects information about the ocean subsurface.

Birds are commonly used as indicators of the effect of habitat degradation on biodiversity in the tropics. However, monitoring birds and their habitat in a way that is consistent, reliable and scalable remains an important challenge. Here, we examine whether bioacoustics and remote sensing can be used to efficiently monitor avian biodiversity and ...

GEDI LiDAR‐derived biomass models were calibrated using local field data across various forest types in Mexico, resulting in a significant improvement in AGBD estimation accuracy compared to the standard GEDI products. The models reduced biomass estimation errors by over 30% and showed the highest accuracy in areas with moderate slopes and low forest ...

Abstract A satellite‐based temperature‐dependent parameterization of the Wegener‐Bergeron‐Findeisen (WBF) process that takes into account the subgrid‐scale variability of cloud thermodynamic phase within mixed‐phase clouds is developed and implemented in version 5.3 of the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM5.3).

Abstract Recent studies show that the Ice, Clouds, and Land Elevation Satellite‐2 (ICESat‐2) can achieve decimeter‐level accuracy over forested and mountainous sites in the western United States, as well as over the glaciers of Alaska. However, there has yet to be an assessment on ICESat‐2 snow depths over the boreal forests and tundra of Alaska, both ...

Abstract Managing carbon stocks in the land, ocean, and atmosphere under changing climate requires a globally‐integrated view of carbon cycle processes at local and regional scales. The growing Earth Observation (EO) record is the backbone of this multi‐scale system, providing local information with discrete coverage from surface measurements and ...

Global Elevation Inversion for Multiband Spaceborne Lidar: Predevelopment of Forest Canopy Height
Compared to single-band spaceborne lidars such as the global ecosystem dynamics investigation (GEDI) and Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2), multiband spaceborne lidars improve the detection of the canopy and ground.
