Overview
The data set provides digital terrain models (DTM), digital surface models (DSM) snow depth models, and canopy height models (CHM), derived from point cloud data (available as SnowEx Mores Creek Summit (MCS) Airborne LiDAR Survey Raw, Version 1) acquired by airborne lidar scanning. Data were collected as part of a multi-year effort to monitor monthly snow distribution over a 35 km² region of the Mores Creek Headwaters in the Boise Mountains of central Idaho between 2021 and 2024. Data acquisition in 2021 overlapped temporally with the NASA SnowEx 2021 field campaign.
