Airborne and Terrestrial Scanning Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data from several recent field campaigns over Harvard Forest is now available, allowing comparison of canopy height models (CHM) and forest characteristics. In August 2012, the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) flew their Airborne Observation Platform (AOP) over Harvard Forest. Mounted on the AOP are both a hyperspectral imager and a full waveform 1064nm LiDAR (Optech). Discrete returns from this instrument have recently been used to develop 1m and 0.5m resolution CHM. In June 2012, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) also flew Goddard’s LiDAR, Hyperspectral, and Thermal (G-LiHT) instrument package over Harvard Forest. Using the discrete 1550nm LiDAR (Riegl), a 1m resolution CHM was derived for areas overlapping NEON’s. In July 2007 and 2009, the terrestrial full waveform 1064nm LiDAR, the Echidna Validation Instrument (EVI) was deployed in Harvard Forest. The resulting point clouds have been merged to produce 0.25 hectare sized 3D canopy reconstructions of several sites. During the 2012 NEON campaign, the next generation Dual Wavelength Echidna LiDAR (DWEL) was deployed for the first time at some of these same locations. In addition, during both the 2009 and 2012 field campaigns, extensive field measures of standard forestry parameters (height, diameter breast height, species, crown characteristics, leaf area index) were collected.
