Estimating Terrain Slope from ICESat-2 Data in Forest Environments

Estimating Terrain Slope from ICESat-2 Data in Forest Environments

The global digital elevation measurement (DEM) products such as SRTM DEM and GDEM have been widely used for terrain slope retrieval in forests. However, the slope estimation accuracy is generally limited due to the DEMs’ low vertical accuracy over complex forest environments. The Ice, Cloud, and lan...
