Lidar is an active remote sensing technology that uses laser pulses to measure distances to objects or surfaces. By calculating the time it takes for each laser pulse to travel to a target and return, lidar systems generate highly accurate 3D point clouds representing terrain, vegetation, and built structures. Vertical accuracy often within 10–15 cm.

The Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL) is an airborne lidar system that provides unique capabilities to survey coral reefs, nearshore benthic habitats, coastal vegetation, and sandy beaches (Wright and Brock, 2002). Operating in the blue-green portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, the EAARL is specifically designed to measure submerged topography and adjacent coastal land elevations seamlessly in a single scan of transmitted laser pulses.

ATM3 is the third-generation instrument in NASA’s Airborne Topographic Mapper series. It was developed as an upgrade to ATM2, incorporating improved laser technology, higher pulse rates, and better GPS/inertial navigation integration for enhanced accuracy. Compared to ATM2, ATM3 offers finer spatial resolution (typically achieves vertical accuracy of 10 cm or better, depending on flight conditions) and faster data acquisition.
