In remote sensing, multiangular observations are primarily governed by the view-illumination geometry, and thus, contain information on the physical structure of the upper (tree and/or shrub) canopy and (soil and/or low vegetation) background. This information can be exploited via empirical or physical modeling approaches and can lead to new algorithms for deriving accurate global aboveground biomass from space based multiangular data. In this study, we used airborne Cloud Absorption Radiometer (CAR) multiangular observations taken aboard NASA P-3B during the ECO3D field campaign (Aug – Sept. 2011) over seven well characterized terrestrial ecology study sites along the U.S. east coast to demonstrate canopy height retrieval.
