Beach topography and near-shore bathymetry of Lake Superior at Minnesota Point near the Superior Entry, Duluth, MN, September 2022
These data are digital elevation models (DEMs) of the beach topography and near-shore bathymetry of Lake Superior at Minnesota Point, near the Superior entry, Duluth, Minnesota. The DEMs have 1 meter (m) and/or 10 m cell size and was created from a LAS dataset of terrestrial light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data representing the beach topography and sonar data representing the bathymetry for an approximate 2.15 square kilometer survey area. Average point spacing of the LAS files in the dataset are as follows: Lidar, 0.086 m; multi-beam sonar, 0.512 m; single-beam sonar, 1.919 m. Lidar data were collected September 07, 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 September 06-07, 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 September 07, 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.
