Atmospheric aerosol particles play a critical role in the Earth’s radiation budget, yet the global radiative forcing by aerosols is widely recognized as a major uncertainty in our understanding of the climate [IPCC, 2007]. The radiative characteristics of aerosol particles are determined by their shape, size, total amount and chemical composition [Kaufman et al., 1997a]. Overall though, aerosols have...
A space-based full-waveform LiDAR system, optimised for vegetation analysis, offers the opportunity for global biophysical parameter retrieval of the world's forests. However the conditions under which signals from the ground and vegetation can be detected will vary as a result of sensor specifications, vegetation characteristics and underlying surface properties. This paper demonstrates the utility...
