Beach topography and near-shore bathymetry of Lake Superior at Minnesota Point near the Duluth Entry of Lake Superior, Duluth, MN, August 2022
These data are digital elevation models (DEMs) of the beach topography and near-shore bathymetry of Lake Superior at Minnesota Point near the Duluth Entry, Duluth, Minnesota. A LAS dataset was used to create DEMs of 10 meter (m; 32.8084 feet) and 1 m (3.28084 feet) resolution, covering the approximately 1.75 square kilometer surveyed area. Average point spacing of the LAS files in the dataset are as follows: lidar, 0.094 meters (m); multibeam sonar, 0.501 m; single-beam sonar, 1.876 m. Lidar data were collected August 22, 2022 using a boat mounted Velodyne VLP-16 unit and methodology similar to that described by Huizinga and Wagner (2019). Multibeam sonar data were collected August 22-23, 2022 using a Norbit integrated wide band multibeam system compact (iWBMSc) sonar unit and methodology similar to that described by Richards and Huizinga (2018). Single-beam sonar data were collected August 23, 2022 using a Ceescope echosounder and methodology similar to that described by Wilson and Richards (2006). This project followed similar methods to that of Wagner, Lund, and Sanks (2020), who completed a similar survey in 2019.
