Watershed Sciences, Inc. (WS) collected Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data of the Klamath River and associated riparian zones from Klamath Falls, Oregon to Happy Camp, California for Woolpert, Inc. Acquisition of the data occurred between February 27th and March 15th, 2010. The total deliverable area, including a 100 m buffer, is 107,547 acres.
The LiDAR survey uses a Leica ALS60 laser system. For the Klamath River survey area, the sensor was set to yield an average native pulse density of > 8 points per square meter over terrestrial surfaces. Up to 4 range measurements are possible per pulse, and all discernible laser returns were processed for the output dataset.
OCM received 1,039 LAZ files from the Oregon Lidar Consortium. The files were in California State Plane zone 1 projected coordinate system, NAD83 (HARN) and geoid09. No metadata came with this dataset; information in this record is derived from the accompanying project report, which is linked below. Additionally, bare-earth DEMs produced from this dataset are available for download, and are linked in the Related Items section below.
This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
