Lake Isabella Lidar Collection, CA 2015

Airborne LiDAR data was acquired by CRREL on 21 August 2015 over Lake Isabella and the Lake Isabella Dam, California as part of a coincident regional study. These data were collected using an airborne laser scanning (ALS) system comprised of a Riegl Q680i full-waveform LiDAR sensor, an Applanix POS AV INS system, and custom designed hardware and aircraft integration components. The system was installed in a Partenavia P.68, with an average collection AGL of 2,600' and airspeed of 90 knots. A total of 19-flight-lines were collected during a single flight, with 50% overlap of laser swath coverage, given a 60 deg across track field-of-view.
