The area covered was approximately 4933 square kilometers with an average point density of 10-12 points per square meter to comply with USGS's QL1 standard. Additional products include the LiDAR point cloud and derived products (including the digital elevation map, top-of-canopy elevation). The attached LIDAR acquisition report accompanies the delivered LiDAR data and documents contract specifications, data acquisition procedures, acquisition parameters (e.g., flight line trajectories, coverage maps), processing methods, and analysis of the final dataset including LiDAR accuracy and density.The metadata can be accessed by using GIS software (QGIS, ArcGIS) or remote sensing software (ENVI).EARTH SCIENCE > SPECTRAL/ENGINEERING > LIDARCATEGORICAL:GCMDEARTH SCIENCE > LAND SURFACE > TOPOGRAPHY > TERRAIN ELEVATIONEARTH SCIENCE > LAND SURFACE > TOPOGRAPHY > TERRAIN ELEVATION > DIGITAL ELEVATION/TERRAIN MODEL (DEM)VARIABLE:GCMDLIDAR Point CloudVARIABLE:NONE This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

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). Through WFSFA, observational networks have been established to measure stream discharge and precipitation chemistry.The ER is considered representative of many snow‐dominated headwaters of the Rocky Mountains. The study domain encompasses nearly 85 square km, a 1.4‐km vertical drop in elevation (4,120 to 2,760 m) and pristine alpine, subalpine, montane, and riparian ecosystems. The ER contains high‐energy mountain streams to low‐energy meandering floodplains and is eroding primarily into the Cretaceous, carbon‐rich, marine shale of the Mancos Formation. -107.05-106.8839.03438.88 2015-06-082015-08-10 HarukoWainwrightLawrence Berkeley National Laboratoryhmwainwright@lbl.gov Watershed Function SFA Airborne LiDAR remote sensing data were acquired over the study area on August 10th, 2015, using a Riegl Q1560 dual-channel LiDAR system mounted on a Piper Navajo. The survey was performed by Quantum Spatial in collaboration with Eagle Mapping Ltd. The data complies with the USGS QL1 standard [Heideman, 2014] with the point density more than 8 pulse per m2.
