Summary

This portion of the data release presents a topographic point cloud of the exposed Los Padres Reservoir delta where the Carmel River enters the reservoir. The point cloud was derived from structure-from-motion (SfM) processing of aerial imagery collected with an unoccupied aerial system (UAS) on 2017-11-01. The point cloud has 115,819,907 points with an average point density of 611 points per-square meter. Each point in the point cloud contains an explicit horizontal and vertical coordinate, color, intensity, and classification. Classification was performed on the point cloud to identify ground and low-noise points within the point cloud. Additional portions of the point cloud within the horizontal extent of the reservoir water surface [...]

Purpose

These data are intended to be used to characterize the position, elevation, volume, and morphology of the Los Padres Reservoir delta sediment where the Carmel River enters the reservoir. This assessment of reservoir sediment was made in response to the 2016 Soberanes Fire in the upper Carmel watershed, followed by high flows during water year 2017.
