Data were provided by the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest research program, funded by the National Science Foundation's Long-Term Ecological Research Program (DEB 2025755), US Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, and Oregon State University.

While substantial efforts are made to ensure the accuracy of data and documentation, complete accuracy of data sets cannot be guaranteed. All data are made available "as is". The Andrews LTER shall not be liable for damages resulting from any use or misinterpretation of data sets.

ABSTRACT:
	Watershed Sciences, Inc. (WSI) collected Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data on October 27th, 28th and November 1st, 2011 for the United States Forest Service and Environmental Protection Agency. This study includes bare-earth, highest hit, vegetation height, and intensity grids. The raw point cloud data is available on request, due to massive size of the data. Derived entities include aspect, percent slope, hill shades (bare-earth and high hits), flow accumulation grid, and contours. The coverage of this area is only for the Upper Blue River watershed, but combined with the Andrews Forest LiDAR (GI010) provides complete coverage of the Blue River Watershed.
