The LiDAR lazer returns were processed into a representation of the topography of the area of interest with the first returns, also known as the "Highest Hits Digital Elevation Model (DEM)l". The final product is in ESRI GRID digital format, with a 1 meter cell size resolution. Each cell in the GRID has a value that represents the modeled elevation of the tallest features at that location. The purpose of the data is to provide users with a very accurate view of the topography and vegetation of the study area. The data are suitable for creating visualizations, identifying structures such as roads, buildings, and vegetation, The final product is in ESRI GRID digital format, with a 1 meter cell size resolution. Each cell in the GRID has a value that represents the modeled elevation of the first returns at that location.
Watershed Sciences, Inc. (WS) collected Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data from HJ Andrews and the Willamette National Forest (NF) on August 10th and 11th 2008. Total area for this AOI is 17,705 acres. The total area of delivered LiDAR including 100 m buffer is 19,493 acres. This raster contains the highest hits Digital Elevation Model for the Andrews Forest.
