  • Watershed Sciences, Inc. collected Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data from HJ Andrews and the Willamette National Forest (WNF) on August 10-11, 2008. Total area of the study are is 17,705 acres. The total area of delivered LiDAR including 100 m buffer is 19,493 acres. This data set includes the base products delivered by Watershed Sciences, and derived products (hill shades, slope and aspect grids, and contours). The base products include the point cloud data (LAS format), and the derived bare-earth and highest-hits digital elevation models (DEM). The DEMs are at 1 meter cell size resolution. The bare-earth DEM is a representation of the topography of the area, with all the vegetation removed. The highest-hit DEM is a representation of the first object the LiDAR system struck during data capture. This includes the bare-earth topography with vegetation and structures. The vegetation DEM is the result of subtracting the bare-earth DEM from the highest-hit DEM. The elevations are the heights of the vegetation. The final products are 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 (either total elevation or vegetation height) at that location. The resulting DEM's were used to create slope, aspect, hill shade, and contour data for the area.

Disclaimer: 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 Experimental Forest LTER shall not be liable for damages resulting from any use or misinterpretation of data sets. General acknowledgement: Data were provided by the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest research program, funded by the National Science Foundation's Long-Term Ecological Research Program (DEB 08-23380), US Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, and Oregon State University. Raster data files are available on-line. Raw data clouds are available by contacting Theresa Valentine. The size of the data clouds are large, so you will have to provide a portable disk drive. You will be asked to provide a short proposal of your intended use, to help coordinate efforts.
