Paper Abstract
Accurate measurements of forest biomass are important to evaluate its contribution to the global carbon cycle. Forest
biomass correlates with forest canopy height; therefore, global measurements of canopy height enable a more precise
understanding of the global carbon cycle. Space-borne lidar has the unique capability of measuring forest canopy height.
A vegetation lidar named Multi-footprint Observation Lidar and Imager (MOLI) has been designed to make accurate
measurements of canopy height and is currently being studied in the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. This papers
introduces an overview of MOLI and its current status.
