Slope and Aspect - LiDAR (DP3.30025.001)

The data product includes a slope map and aspect map, both in raster format. Raster maps for the slope and aspect are reported with horizontal reference to the ITRF00 datum and projected to the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) mapping frame. Slope is determined using the local Geoid12A surface and is reported in degrees. Aspect is the direction of the steepest slope, given in degrees referenced to grid north. The slope and aspect rasters are divided into a set of 1 km by 1 km tiles, which have corners spatially referenced to an even kilometer. The product is stored in GeoTIFF format.
