Effective aerodynamic roughness estimated from airborne laser altimeter measurements of surface features
Aerodynamic roughness length 0 ) and displacement height 0 ) are important surface parameters for estimating surface fluxes in numerical models. These parameters are generally determined from wind flow characteristics using logarithmic wind profiles measured at a meteorological tower or by balloon release. It would be an advantage to use measurements of land surface characteristics instead of w...
متن کاملAirborne Laser Altimeter Measurements of Landscape Topography
M easurements of topography can provide a wealth of information on landscape properties fw managing hydrologic and geologic systems and conserving natural and agricultural resources. This article discusses the application of an airborne laser altimeter to measure topography and other landscape surface properties. The airborne laser altimeter makes 4000 measurements per second with a vertical re...
متن کاملGlobal surface slopes and roughness of the Moon from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter
[1] The acquisition of new global elevation data from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter, carried on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, permits quantification of the surface roughness properties of the Moon at unprecedented scales and resolution. We map lunar surface roughness using a range of parameters: median absolute slope, both directional (along‐track) and bidirectional (in two dimensions);...
متن کاملMeasurements of iron concentrate stockpile weight, from laser mapping to investigation of effective parameters on surface density
Determination of stockpile weight and stockpile inventory are critical to any quarry or mining operation, whether it is required by accounting firms or used internally for the quarterly balance of production and sales. Generally, errors and problems originate from two factors. Volume of stockpile that is traditionally worked out from the mapping results has a low accuracy due to irregular shape...
متن کاملMars Orbiter Laser Altimeter pulse width measurements and footprint-scale roughness
[1] The Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) measured the pulse width and energy of altimetric laser returns during the course of two Mars years of operations. As secondary science objectives, MOLA obtains the footprint-scale roughness and the bidirectional reflectivity of Mars. MOLA underwent extensive preflight calibration and pulse measurements were monitored continuously in flight, but anoma...
