  2. Atmospheric lidar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_lidar

    Atmospheric lidar. Atmospheric lidar is a class of instruments that uses laser light to study atmospheric properties from the ground up to the top of the atmosphere. Such instruments have been used to study, among other, atmospheric gases, aerosols, clouds, and temperature.

  3. Lidar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidar

    Lidar (/ ˈlaɪdɑːr /, also LIDAR, LiDAR or LADAR, an acronym of "light detection and ranging" [1] or "laser imaging, detection, and ranging" [2]) is a method for determining ranges by targeting an object or a surface with a laser and measuring the time for the reflected light to return to the receiver.

  4. ICESat-2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICESat-2

    ICESat-2 (Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite 2), part of NASA 's Earth Observing System, is a satellite mission for measuring ice sheet elevation and sea ice thickness, as well as land topography, vegetation characteristics, and clouds. [9] ICESat-2, a follow-on to the ICESat mission, was launched on 15 September 2018 onboard Delta II as ...

  5. Remote sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_sensing

    LIDAR can be used to detect ground surface changes. [10] Vegetation remote sensing is a principal application of LIDAR. [11] Radiometers and photometers are the most common instrument in use, collecting reflected and emitted radiation in a wide range of frequencies. The most common are visible and infrared sensors, followed by microwave, gamma ...

  6. Ceilometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceilometer

    A ceilometer is a device that uses a laser or other light source to determine the height of a cloud ceiling or cloud base. [1] Ceilometers can also be used to measure the aerosol concentration within the atmosphere. [2] A ceilometer that uses laser light is a type of atmospheric lidar (light detection and ranging) instrument. [3][4]

  7. Multispectral imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multispectral_imaging

    Multispectral image of Bek crater and its ray system on the surface of Mercury, acquired by MESSENGER, combining images at wavelengths of 996, 748, 433 nm. The bright yellow patches in other parts of the image are hollows. Multispectral imaging captures image data within specific wavelength ranges across the electromagnetic spectrum.

  8. Atmospheric radiative transfer codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_radiative...

    The radiative transfer equation is a monochromatic equation to calculate radiance in a single layer of the Earth's atmosphere. To calculate the radiance for a spectral region with a finite width (e.g., to estimate the Earth's energy budget or simulate an instrument response), one has to integrate this over a band of frequencies (or wavelengths).

  9. National Lidar Dataset (United States) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Lidar_Dataset...

    Currently, the best source for nationwide LiDAR availability from public sources is the United States Interagency Elevation Inventory (USIEI). [1] The USIEI is a collaborative effort of NOAA and the U.S. Geological Survey, with contributions from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the US Army Corps of Engineers, and the National Park Service.
