Five forested sites in Gabon were surveyed in February and March 2016 using NASA's Land, Vegetation, and Ice Sensor (LVIS). The dataset provides footprint-level canopy structure products, including vertical profiles of canopy cover fraction and plant area index in 1-meter bins, as well as summary metrics for each 20-meter waveform. These data were collected by NASA as part of the AfriSAR project, a collaboration with ESA, DLR, and AGEOS, to support the calibration of spaceborne missions studying forest carbon cycles.
