Laser Vegetation Imaging Sensor (LVIS) Dataset over La Selva Biological Research Station and surrounding areas of Costa Rica such as Turrialba, Palo Verde, Santa Rosa and Arenal Volcano.
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
NASA's Laser Vegetation Imaging Sensor (LVIS) has pioneered the use of waveform-based measurements since 1997.
Description
Images of sub-canopy topography, canopy height, canopy vertical structure and various parameters describing forest structure are routinely obtained using the system. In 2005, LVIS was used to image selected areas of Costa Rica, including Braulio Carillo National Park, La Selva Biological Station, the Turrialba area, Arenal volcano, and Palo Verde Biological Station.
