The Multiple Altimeter Beam Experimental Lidar (MABEL) is an airborne lidar system designed to be a testbed for the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) onboard ICESat-2. It measures lidar backscatter at 532 and 1064 nm to determine the properties of ice, snow, water, and clouds. MABEL has a swath width of up to 1.05 km and has a pulse repetition rate of from 5 to 25 kHz.
