Spaceborne laser altimetry: 2001 and beyond, in: Book of Extended Abstracts, edited by
In July 2001, a spaceborne laser altimeter will be launched into a near-polar, near-circular orbit to measure changes in polar ice-sheet topography, as well as along-track land and ocean topography. The ice-sheet measurements will address fundamental questions about the growth or shrinkage of the po...
