NEON AOP Survey of Upper East River CO Watersheds: LAZ Files, LiDAR Surface Elevation, Terrain Elevation, and Canopy Height Rasters

Year: 2020
DOI: 10.15485/1617203
Location: The East River (ER) is a snow‐dominated, headwater basin of the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB) located in the western United States. The ER is the designated testbed of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area (WFSFA). The ER is considered representative of many snow‐dominated headwaters of the Rocky Mountains. The study domain encompasses pristine alpine, subalpine, montane, and riparian ecosystems. The ER contains high‐energy mountain streams to low‐e

Description

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) contracted the National Ecological Observatory Network Airborne Observation Platform (NEON AOP) to observe watersheds of interest surrounding Crested Butte, CO with remotely sensed data, including LiDAR. The flight box design encompassed the watersheds, surveying a total area of 334 km2 across 72 lines. The instrument used was an Optech Gemini, with a pulse density of 2-9 pulses m-2 across the study area (see final report document for detailed information). These LiDAR data are the primary data that were provided by NEON including LAZ files of a classified point cloud, and geotifs of a digital surface elevation model, digital terrain elevation model, and a canopy height model at 1 m resolution with a height threshold of > 2 m. Raster files can also be found on Google Earth Engine: https://code.earthengine.google.com/5c96bbc96ffd50e3c8b1433b34a0bb86.
