  1. "ETOPO 2022 is an updated topographic–bathymetric dataset at 15 arcsec global resolution that incorporates bare-Earth datasets with forests and buildings removed. ETOPO 2022 integrates more than a dozen source datasets for land topography, sea bathymetry, lake bathymetry, and ice-sheet bed elevation data, all of which have been carefully evaluated for quality, accuracy, and seamless integration."

    Quality controlled with nearly a trillion #ICESat2 #LIDAR shots.

    Did some successful microwave keyhole shots back in the day, using #SRTM data. This would have been even better.

    “LiDAR or Light Detection and Ranging is an active remote sensing system that can be used to measure vegetation height across wide areas.
    This [tutorial] page… introduce[s the] fundamental LiDAR (or lidar) concepts including:
    • What LiDAR data are.
    • The key attributes of LiDAR data.
    • How LiDAR data are used to measure trees...”

    “A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is a digital cartographic dataset that represents a continuous topographic elevation surface through a series of cells. Each cell represents the elevation (Z) of a feature at its location (X and Y). Digital Elevation Models are a “bare earth” representation because they only contain information about the elevation of geological (ground) features, such as valleys, mountains, and landslides, to name a few. They do not include any elevation data concerning non-ground features, such as vegetation or buildings...”
