The Scanning Lidar Imager of Canopies by Echo Recovery (SLICER) is an airborne and ground-based lidar system. SLICER provides measurements of different canopy characteristics such as canopy height, vertical structure, and ground elevation. It has a horizontal resolution of 10 m and a vertical resolution of 1 m and operates at 1.06 microns. SLICER can provide high-resolution measurements beneath dense canopies and vegetated areas.
