Deriving planetary surface characteristics from orbiting laser altimeter pulse-widths on Mars, the Moon, and Earth
A set of equations linking the time-spread of a laser altimeter echo-profile, commonly known as the pulse-width, to the variance of topography within the pulse-footprint are tested by comparing pulse-width data to surface characteristics measured from high-resolution Digital Terrain Models. The rese...
