Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS)
We conduct terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) measurements at our Lägeren and Davos research sites. The data is collected using a Leica blk360 and Leica RTC360 scanner, renowned for its high accuracy in capturing detailed 3D information. Measurements are typically taken during both leaf-on and leaf-off conditions to analyze seasonal variations in forest structure.
The raw data is processed into 3D point clouds and voxels and was used to conduct radiative model.
