Penetration depths of SRTM radar were found to linearly correlate to tree percent canopy density. Keywords: geodetic height, slope, aspect, landcover, vegetation height, canopy. 1. Introduction Digital elevation models (DEMs) are digital representations of ground surface topography or terrain that provide quantitative elevation data for many applications in topographic and landcover studies, geomorphology, etc [1,2]. DEMs provide either bare earth (ground) – termed as digital terrain models (DTMs) – or elevations with respect to the reflective surface (which may be vegetation, human-made features, etc) – termed as digital surface models (DSMs). The U.S National Elevation Dataset (NED) gives bare earth elevations (DTM) for the conterminous U.S.A [3]. The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM)
