Overview

This data set contains terrestrial LIDAR survey (TLS) point cloud data collected at Grand Mesa, Colorado as part of the 2017 SnowEx campaign. Data were collected in the fall (September and October) and winter (February) seasons. Each point contains X, Y, and Z coordinates (Easting, Northing, and Elevation), along with ancillary information, such as intensity (i) and color (R,G,B), where available. This is unprocessed data which has not been classified by land use (e.g. bare earth, low vegetation, trees).
