Title
First-Principle Simulation of Spaceborne Micropulse Photon-Counting Lidar Performance on Complex Surfaces.
Abstract
To advance the science of lidar sensing of complex surfaces as well as in support of the upcoming Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) mission, this paper establishes a framework that simulates the performance of a spaceborne micropulse photon-counting detector system on a complex surface. A first-principle 3-D Monte Carlo approach is used to investigate returning photon distribut...
