=Validation of airborne waveform lidar simulations for a complex 3D savanna in Australia= Code, models, data and instructions are provided for lidar simulations. This document is a work in progress.

Generating tree and grass object files
OnyxTree tree models: - direct parameterisation in OnyxTree - adjustment of LAD to known distribution - material mapping of leaves Onyxtree grass models: - matched to scene estimates of mean height and cover - random distribution assumed Scene objects: - testing random vs. clumped distribution of trees

Validation of generated scenes
- ability to replicate measured CCP-FPC and SBA-FPC relationships - comparison of measured and modelled gap size distributions

Simulating the airborne survey configuration
System parameterisation: - transmitted pulse properties - simulation of survey configuration
