LAS dataset of lidar, single-beam, and multibeam data collected at Minnesota Point near the Duluth Entry of Lake Superior, Duluth, MN, June 2021
This dataset is a LAS dataset containing light detection and ranging (lidar) data and multibeam sonar data representing the beach topography and near-shore bathymetry of Minnesota Point near the Duluth Entry of Lake Superior, Duluth, Minnesota. The LAS dataset used to create a digital elevation model (DEM) of the approximate 1.87 square kilometer surveyed area. Lidar data were collected using a boat mounted Velodyne VLP-16 unit. Multibeam sonar data were collected using a Norbit integrated wide band multibeam system compact (iWBMSc) sonar unit. Single-beam sonar data were collected using a Ceescope sonar unit. All elevation data were collected June 22-24, 2021. Methodology similar to Wagner, D.M., Lund, J.W., and Sanks, K.M., 2020 was used.
