Summary

This portion of the data release presents the locations of the temporary ground control points (GCPs) used for the structure-from-motion (SfM) processing of the imagery collected during the unoccupied aerial system (UAS) survey of the Los Padres Reservoir delta, Carmel River valley, CA, 2017-11-01. Twenty temporary ground control points (GCPs) consisting of small square tarps with black-and-white cross patterns were distributed throughout the area to establish survey control. The GCP positions were measured using real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS, using corrections from a GPS base station located on a benchmark designated SFML, located approximately 1 kilometer from the study area. The GCP positions are presented in a comma-delimited text [...]

Purpose

These data are intended to be used to characterize the position, elevation, volume, and morphology of the Los Padres Reservoir delta sediment where the Carmel River enters the reservoir. This assessment of reservoir sediment was made in response to the 2016 Soberanes Fire in the upper Carmel watershed, followed by high flows during water year 2017.
