Summary

This data release contains about 60 million point cloud data points collected during 27 scans of a section of the western shoreline of the Shinnecock Peninsula in Suffolk County, New York. Data were collected during July and October of 2022. Data are provided as .las files with points classified as either bare earth (GROUND_SN_BRIC_BL_2022_v03.0 (2).las), vegetation (VEGETATION_SN_BRIC_BL_2022_v03.0.las) or unclassified (DEFAULT_SN_BRIC_BL_2022_v03.0.las). Users are encouraged to read the metadata and Noll and others (2024) to understand how the data were collected, registered, and classified.

Purpose

The purpose of this data-collection effort was to (1) establish the baseline geospatial conditions of a section of the western shoreline of the Shinnecock Peninsula using the point cloud from the July and October 2022 surveys, (2) determine the components of the overall relative and absolute uncertainty associated with the combined point cloud, and (3) document and describe the potential sources of uncertainty to improve the accuracy of future point clouds collected with the scanning total station.
