Summary

This metadata record documents six LiDAR point clouds, six point cloud generation reports, and three comma-delimited tables that contain information on local channel morphology and topography for a select number of reaches along Midway Branch and its associated tributaries within the confines of Fort George G. Meade, Fort Meade, Maryland. Point cloud generation reports include diagnostic information regarding errors introduced during registration and other associated processing steps. Information included in the comma-delimited tables include data regarding bed, bank, and overall channel characteristics for each reach surveyed.

Purpose

The purpose of this data collection was to document existing stream conditions within the Midway Branch watershed inside Fort Meade in anticipation of planned stream restoration(s) within the base. These data will be used to inform cooperators within the Department of Defense about the streams' current conditions, and to determine which reaches within the watershed are most likely to be heavily eroding.
