In this paper, they analyzed canopy light
absorption, considering leaf angle distribution, leaf clumping and stand
density. To compare canopy properties, they set models and compare how well
each model estimates measured canopy light absorption. Canopy properties are
controlled in 7 models (v1 – v7). The simplest model (v1), only considering
Beer-Lambertian gap fraction, was developed to most complex model (v7) by
gradually adding another properties. They are compared in respect of various
LAI and sky condition.
The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation: High-resolution laser ranging of the Earth’s forests and topography The paper mapped above ground biomass using satellite radar and LiDAR fusion. Satellite radar systems provides global data, as it passes through clouds. However, radar cannot produce vertical profile. Satellite LiDAR system, the paper targeting, provides accurate canopy point clouds. On the contrary, clouds occlude LiDAR incident wave. As the author mentioned, it only covered only 4% of the surface for 2 years. To combine LiDAR with radar, LiDAR data was compared to radar and then extended to radar. Validation was done plots where the coverage of LiDAR and radar overlapped. Reference Dubayah, R., Blair, J. B., Goetz, S., Fatoyinbo, L., Hansen, M., Healey, S., ... & Armston, J. (2020).
