Duluth Entry: 2-foot Elevation contours of beach topography and near-shore bathymetry of Lake Superior at the Duluth Entry, Duluth, MN, September 2020

The elevation contours in this dataset have a 2-foot (ft) interval and were derived from a digital elevation model (DEM) of beach topography and near-shore bathymetry of Lake Superior at the Duluth entry, Duluth, Minnesota. The DEM has a 5-meter (m; 16.404 feet) cell size and was created from a LAS dataset of terrestrial light detection and ranging (lidar) data representing the beach topography, and multibeam sonar data representing the bathymetry. The survey area extended approximately 0.85 kilometer (0.5 miles) offshore, for an approximately 1.87 square kilometer surveyed area. Lidar data were collected September 23, 2020 using a boat mounted Velodyne unit. Multibeam sonar data were collected September 22-23, 2020 using a Norbit [...]
