Laser Vegetation Imaging Sensor (LVIS) Dataset over La Selva Biological Research Station and surrounding areas of Costa Rica.
Entry ID:
GSFC_LVIS_1998_CR
Summary
Abstract:
The La Selva Biological Research Station contains over 1500 hectares of tropical wet forest in the Atlantic lowlands of Costa Rica, and has been extensively surveyed for ecological, hydrological, and topographical purposes. In March of 1998, the Laser Vegetation Imaging Sensor (LVIS), an airborne laser altimeter designed and developed at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, was used to map the ...
