Sea Ice Melt Ponds: LiDAR Scanning Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.425

Summary
High resolution terrestrial Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) scans were
repeatedly collected using a Riegl LMS- Z420i scanner, from 5 different
platforms affixed to the ice, two to the south of the field, and 3 along the
transect line to its north. All data is registered together to produce a
single point cloud of the surface using a number of reflectors situated around
the site.
