At the end of the summer 2011 we took light detection and ranging (LiDAR) measurements to depict Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the tundra vegetation within the Networked Info-mechanical System (NIMS) site in Barrow, Alaska. The LiDAR equipment was placed in six different positions around the NIMS grid targeting the actual grid. The data is separated into those six distinct positions. The data provided is a series of xyz text files.
