LVIS L1A Geotagged Images, Version 1

This data set contains geotagged images collected over the United States, Western Canada, and Central America. The images were taken by two NASA Digital Mapping Cameras, which were mounted alongside the Land, Vegetation, and Ice Sensor (LVIS), an airborne lidar scanning laser altimeter. Data were collected in support of: NASA’s Terrestrial Ecology Program, the Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE); the NASA Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) mission; and annual Engineering Check Flights of the LVIS instrument (sites in Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina).

This is the most recent version of these data.
