Overview

This data set contains digital terrain models (DTMs) derived from terrestrial lidar scans (TLS) collected as part of the SnowEx 2023 campaign. Data were collected at the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest near Fairbanks, Alaska in October 2022 (snow-off conditions) and March 2023 (snow-on conditions). The DTMs are provided as Geographic Tagged Image (GeoTIFF) files, where each file corresponds to a unique survey site. Unprocessed point cloud data from which these DTMs were derived are available as the SnowEx23 Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest Terrestrial Lidar Scans Raw, Version 1 (SNEX23_BCEF_TLS_Raw) data set
