Summary

These light detection and ranging (lidar) point clouds (LPCs) were generated from lidar data collected during multiple field campaigns in three study areas near Winter Park, Colorado. Small, uncrewed aircraft systems (sUAS) collected lidar datasets to represent snow-covered and snow-free periods. More information regarding the sUAS used and data collection methods can be found in the Supplemental Information and process step sections of each study area metadata file.

Purpose

These LPCs were generated as part of a larger effort to build digital elevation models (DEMs) and snow depth raster maps and build relations between sUAS lidar data collection methods and snow water equivalent (SWE) in mountainous environments.
