Summary

These digital elevation models (DEMs) were generated from light detection and ranging (lidar) point clouds (LPCs) derived from lidar data collected during multiple field campaigns at three study areas near Winter Park, Colorado. Small, uncrewed aircraft systems (sUAS) were used to collect lidar datasets to represent snow-covered and snow-free periods.

Purpose

These DEMs were generated as part of a larger effort to generate snow depth raster maps and build relations between sUAS lidar data collection methods and snow water equivalent (SWE) in mountainous environments.
