Senator Beck Basin Lidar Point Cloud 2017-02-21

This lidar dataset was collected using an airborne Riegl Q1560 dual laser scanner flown aboard a King Air A90 as part of the Airborne Snow Observatory (ASO), a now complete NASA-JPL project. The data acquisition took place on February 21, 2017, over the Senator Beck Basin Study Area in the San Juan Mountains, Colorado as part of the NASA SnowEx campaign (Year 1). Ackroyd et al. (under review) utilized this point cloud for a lidar intensity correction to retrieve snow cover extent and grain size in GIScience and Remote Sensing.
