The State of Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) used lidar to produce a digital terrain model (DTM) and digital surface model (DSM) of Turnagain Pass, southcentral Alaska, during snow-free ground conditions. This dataset includes point cloud data, a 32-bit digital terrain model and digital surface model, and an intensity image covering Turnagain Pass located southeast of Anchorage within the Chugach National Forest on the Kenai Peninsula in southcentral Alaska. The lidar and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data were collected on September 2, 2018, and processed using Terrasolid. This data collection is released as a Raw Data File with an open end-user license. All files can be downloaded free of charge from the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys website (http://doi.org/10.14509/30567).
The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded this data set from this AK DGGS site:
