The Level 1 waveform data product is a geolocated slant-range waveform product where the return waveform is relative signal intensity versus 1 nsec time bins. The X and Y output coordinates will be reported as Easting and Northing values in a Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection with the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) International Terrestrial Reference Frame 2000 (ITRF 2000) ellipsoid horizontal datum with units of meters. The Z coordinates will be reported in a North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD88) using the National Geodetic Survey Geoid12A height model with units of meters. The UTM zone will vary depending on the latitude/longitude of the specific NEON site. Each flight line will be saved as a Pulsewaves PLS and WVS file. Instrumentation: NEON Airborne Observation Platform (AOP) LiDAR - Optech Gemini
