Influence of Surface Topography on ICESat/GLAS Forest Height Estimation and Waveform Shape
This study explores ICESat/GLAS waveform data in Thuringian Forest, a low mountain range located in central Germany. Lidar remote sensing has been proven to directly derive tree height as a key variable of forest structure. The GLAS signal is, however, very sensitive to surface topography because of...
