2014 Lidar-Derived 1m Digital Elevation Model Data Set for Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed, Southwestern Idaho

Abstract

Full waveform lidar data were collected by NASA\u27s Jet propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Airborne Snow Observatory (ASO) in August 2014 for a NASA Terretrial Ecology project (NNX14AD81G). The data were collected using a Riegl LMS Q-1560 dual laser scanner system. The full waveforms were decomposed in Riegl RiPROCESS software to generate 3D point cloud with an average point density of 14-20 pts/m2. The point clouds were corrected for elevation and roll misalignment between adjacent flight lines in TerraScan. A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of 1 m resolution was derived using the corrected point cloud using BCAL Lidar Tools (https://bcal.boisestate.edu/tools/lidar and https://github.com/bcal-lidar/tools/wiki/BareDEM)
