Description
Summary:Minimally processed Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) point cloud data were collected from Los Alamos National Laboratory’s (LANL) heavy-lift unoccupied aerial system (UAS) quadcopter and hexacopter platforms operated by Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic) scientists from the EES-14 group at LANL. These data were collected in August 2017 and July 2018 at the NGEE Arctic field site near mile marker 27 of the Bob Blodgett Nome–Teller Memorial Highway between Nome, Alaska and Teller, Alaska. A Vulcan Raven X8 Airframe (Mitcheldean, Gloucestershire, UK), DJI Matrice 600 Pro Airframe (Shenzhen, China), and Routescene UAV LiDARSystem (Edinburgh, Scotland, UK) were used to collect LiDAR data. This LiDAR data has undergone basic post-processing using Routescene LidarViewer Pro software to create point cloud data (.laz files). Following basic processing, data from multiple flights and years were merged into a single raw point cloud using CloudCompare software. This data package contains ...
