Abstract:
Watershed Sciences, Inc. (WS) collected Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data of the Klamath River and
associated riparian zones from Klamath Falls, Oregon to Happy Camp, California for Woolpert, Inc.
Acquisition of the data occurred between February 27th and March 15th, 2010. The total deliverable area,
including a 100 m buffer, is 107,547 acres.
The LiDAR survey uses a Leica ALS60 laser system. For the Klamath River survey area, the sensor was set to
yield an average native pulse density of > 8 points per square meter over terrestrial surfaces. Up to 4
range measurements are possible per pulse, and all discernible laser returns were processed for the output
dataset.
OCM received 1,039 LAZ files from the Oregon Lidar Consortium. The files were in California State Plane zone 1
projected coordinate system, NAD83 (HARN) and geoid09. No metadata came with this dataset; information in
this record is derived from the accompanying project report, which is linked below. Additionally, bare-earth
DEMs produced from this dataset are available for download, and are linked in the Related Items section below.
Purpose:
Provide high resolution terrain elevation and land cover elevation data.

Vertical Positional Accuracy
Evaluation method description:
The vertical accuracy of the LiDAR data is described as the mean and standard deviation (sigma - ) of
divergence of LiDAR point coordinates from RTK ground survey point coordinates. To provide a sense of
the model predictive power of the dataset, the root mean square error (RMSE) for vertical accuracy is
also provided. These statistics assume the error distributions for x, y, and z are normally distributed,
thus we also consider the skew and kurtosis of distributions when evaluating error statistics.
Statements of statistical accuracy apply to fixed terrestrial surfaces only and may not be applied to
areas of dense vegetation or steep terrain. To assess accuracy for the LiDAR dataset, WS collected 2,767
RTK points were on fixed, hard-packed road surfaces within the study area.
Vertical accuracy at 1-sigma is 5.5 cm for this study area, while RMSE is 3 cm.

Description:
Acquisition.
The LiDAR survey uses a Leica ALS60 laser system mounted on a Cessna Caravan. For the Klamath River
survey area, the sensor scan angle was ±13 degrees from nadir1 with a pulse rate designed to yield
an average native density (number of pulses emitted by the laser system) of > 8 points per square
meter over terrestrial surfaces. All survey areas were surveyed with an opposing flight line
side-lap of

Process step:
Description:
LiDAR survey datasets were referenced to the 1 Hz static ground GPS data collected over pre- surveyed
monuments with known coordinates. While surveying, the aircraft collected 2 Hz kinematic GPS data,
and the onboard inertial measurement unit (IMU) collected 200 Hz aircraft attitude data. Waypoint
GPS v.8.10 was used to process the kinematic corrections for the aircraft. The static and kinematic
GPS data were then post-processed after the survey to obtain an accurate GPS solution and aircraft
positions. IPAS v.1.35 was used to develop a trajectory file that includes corrected aircraft
position and attitude information. The trajectory data for the entire flight survey session were
incorporated into a final smoothed best estimated trajectory (SBET) file that contains accurate and
continuous aircraft positions and attitudes.
Laser point coordinates were computed using the IPAS and ALS Post Processor software suites based on
independent data from the LiDAR system (pulse time, scan angle), and aircraft trajectory data
(SBET). Laser point returns (first through fourth) were assigned an associated (x, y, z) coordinate
along with unique intensity values (0-255). The data were output into large LAS v. 1.2 files; each
point maintains the corresponding scan angle, return number (echo), intensity, and x, y, z (easting,
northing, and elevation) information.
The following processing steps were performed on the data:
• LiDAR points were then filtered for noise, pits (artificial low points) and birds (true birds as well as erroneously high points) by screening for absolute elevation limits, isolated points and height above ground.
• Points from overlapping lines were tested for internal consistency and final adjustments were made for system misalignments (i.e., pitch, roll, heading offsets and scale).

Description:
Data was obtained by NOAA Office for Coastal Management from DOGAMI. Data were in California State
Plane Zone 1 NAD83(HARN) US survey feet with NAVD88 (Geoid09) US Survey feet vertically. Data were
converted to geographic coordinates in ellipsoid heights (meters) using the general cartographic
transform package subroutines and reversing the application of GEOID09.
