SIMPL

SIMPL

The Slope Imaging Multi-polarization Photon-counting Lidar or SIMPL, flew on campaigns in 2011 and 2015. For more information, see the SIMPL page.

MABEL

MABEL

The Multiple Altimeter Beam Experimental Lidar, or MABEL, is a test-bed instrument for ICESat-2. MABEL has flown on several different aircraft, over terrain including Greenland’s ice sheets, the Arctic’s sea ice, the Chesapeake Bay and more. For additional information, see the MABEL page.

MATLAS

MATLAS

MATLAS data simulates the expected performance of ICESat-2’s ATLAS instrument, and is produced by adjusting MABEL data to be more similar to that expected from ATLAS. See more about MATLAS at NSIDC.

SIGMA SPACE SPL

SIGMA SPACE SPL PROTOTYPE

At this link are vegetation and ice sheet data from Sigma Space’s Single Photon Lidar (SPL) Prototype Instrument, gathered on flights over Maryland, New Jersey and Greenland. Learn more on the SPL Page at NASA Spinoff.
