Lidar (/ ˈ l aɪ d ɑːr /, 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.
Applications of lidar to weather and climate [ edit ] The planetary boundary layer (PBL) is the part of the troposphere that is directly influenced by the presence of the earth’s surface, and responds to surface forcings with a timescale of about an hour or less . [ 41 ]
Richat Structure by Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). Instead of being a meteorite impact, the landform is more likely to be a collapsed dome fold structure.. Remote sensing is used in the geological sciences as a data acquisition method complementary to field observation, because it allows mapping of geological characteristics of regions without physical contact with the areas being ...

Earth Day is April 22. Find activities to celebrate the Earth and clean up the environment from festivals to litter pick-up to upcycled art exhibits.
Earth Day should be every day! But come April 22, there are a bunch of activities that you and your family and friends can do to make some positive changes.
By illuminating lights with different wavelengths to the object of interest, LiDAR can be used to create precise topographic maps, with applications in: geology, geomorphology, surveying and other applications. [3] Topographic maps are possible because of the Inertial Measuring Unit and Global Positioning System. [3]
Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI, pronounced / ˈ dʒ ɛ d aɪ /) is a NASA mission to measure how deforestation has contributed to atmospheric CO 2 concentrations. [1] [2] A full-waveform LIDAR was attached to the International Space Station to provide the first global, high-resolution observations of forest vertical structure.
