Summary
This point shapefile represents 38 terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) survey scan locations collected by single-base real-time kinematic (RTK) global navigation satellite system (GNSS) surveys in Grapevine Canyon near Scotty's Castle, Death Valley National Park, from July 12-14, 2016. Data were collected by two Topcon GR-3 GNSS receivers at one-second intervals for three minutes for each location.
Summary
This point shapefile represents 38 terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) survey scan locations collected by single-base real-time kinematic (RTK) global navigation satellite system (GNSS) surveys in Grapevine Canyon near Scotty's Castle, Death Valley National Park, from July 12-14, 2016. Data were collected by two Topcon GR-3 GNSS receivers at one-second intervals for three minutes for each location.
These data were collected as part of a U.S. Geological Survey study, done in cooperation with the National Park Service, to assess the extent of potential flood-inundation areas in Grapevine Canyon near Scotty's Castle, Death Valley National Park, California. Regional flood regression equations were used to estimate the 4, 2, 1, 0.5, and 0.2 percent annual exceedance probability (AEP) flood streamflows. The estimated flood streamflows were used in the one-dimensional hydraulic model to compute water surface elevations mapped using the digital terrain model.
