TL;DR: In this article, the European Space Agency (ESA) decided to implement a Doppler wind lidar mission called the Atmospheric Dynamics Mission Aeolus (ADM-Aeolus) to demonstrate the potential of the doppler lidar technology and the expected impact on numerical weather forecasting.

TL;DR: This work aimed to prospect future space-borne LiDAR sensor capacities for global bathymetry over inland and coastal waters using a methodology based on waveform simulation and found that the results show that the bathymetric measurement probabilities at a 1 m depth is 63%, 54%, 24% and 19% with the green LiDar for deep lakes, coastal waters, rivers and shallow lakes.

TL;DR: Multiple linear regressions and RF regressions provided canopy height estimations with similar precision using either LiDAR metrics or PCs, but a regression model based on the PCA of waveform samples with waveform extent information is an interesting alternative for canopy height estimation.

TL;DR: The ALADIN instrument as mentioned in this paper is a Doppler Wind Lidar, which will be launched in 2007 aboard the ESA Core Explorer Aeolus Mission, with the main purpose of this payload is the measurement of tropospheric wind profiles on a global scale.

TL;DR: Waveforms acquired by the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System were combined with SRTM elevations to discriminate the five forest landscape types (LTs) in French Guiana, showing that the open forest LT (LT12), in some locations, contains trees that lose leaves during the dry season.
