NASA's Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM) airborne waveform and ground calibration data for the Arctic Spring campaign 2016
The Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM) was a scanning lidar developed and used by NASA for observing the Earth’s topography for several scientific applications, foremost of which was the measurement of changing Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets, glaciers and sea ice. ATM measured topography to an accur...

The Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM) was a scanning lidar developed and used by NASA for observing the Earth’s topography for several scientific applications, foremost of which was the measurement of changing Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets, glaciers and sea ice. ATM measured topography to an accuracy of better than 5 centimeters by incorporating measurements from GPS (global positioning system) receivers and inertial navigation system (INS) attitude sensors. In pressurized aircraft the transmitted laser pulse travels thru the aircraft’s optical window close to the scan mirror. The optical delay fiber that is necessary to separate the transmit pulse and window reflection as well as other system components introduce a laser time-of-flight range bias that needs to be determined from ground calibration measurements. This data set includes ATM airborne waveform data from the T2 lidar, as well as the ground test data and true ranges for the Arctic Spring campaign 2016.
