In GLA13, values of “reflctUncorr” are greater than 1. Is it possible for uncorrected reflectivity to be greater than 1?
It is possible for reflectivity to exceed 100% from specular reflection. In fact, the Antarctic ice sheet routinely shows 150-200% reflectance. But the echo pulse energy calculation can also show greater than 20% error. The GLAS science team also realized there was a one-shot gain offset in previously released data, but since GLAS was not designed as a radiometer or reflectometer, these issues have been of low priority and will be addressed in the future.
