  skos:definition """The principal goal of the Vegetation Canopy Lidar (VCL) mission is the
characterization of the three-dimensional structure of the Earth. The
two main science objectives are: 1)Land cover characterization for
terrestrial ecosystem modeling, monitoring and prediction, and climate
modeling and prediction. and 2)Global reference data set of
topographic spot heights and transects.
