The Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM) was an airborne scanning lidar developed at NASA Wallops Flight Facility (WFF). ATM measured the changes in surface elevation to map topography and was typically used for surveying glaciers and icecaps. ATM typically flew at an altitude of 400 to 800 m and had a horizontal resolution of 10 to 20 cm. It operated at a 532 nm wavelength.
