Elevation contours of beach topography and nearshore bathymetry of Lake Superior at Minnesota Point, Duluth, MN, from hydrographic survey August 2019
The elevation contours in this dataset have a 2-foot (ft) interval and were derived from a digital elevation model (DEM) of beach topography and nearshore bathymetry of Lake Superior at Minnesota Point, Duluth, Minnesota. The DEM has a 10-meter (32.8084 ft) cell size and was created from LiDAR data representing beach topography and sonar data representing bathymetry to a distance of approximately 1.3 kilometers (0.8 miles) offshore. LiDAR data were collected August 10, 2019 using a boat-mounted Optech ILRIS scanner and methodology similar to that described by Huizinga and Wagner (2019). Multi-beam sonar data were collected August 7-11, 2019 using an R2Sonic 2024 sonar unit and methodology similar to that described by Richards and Huizinga (2018). Single-beam sonar data were collected August 27-28, 2019 using a CEESCOPE echosounder and methodology similar to that described by Wilson and Richards (2006).
