XYZ dataset of lidar, single-beam, and multibeam sonar data collected at Lake Superior at Minnesota Point near the Duluth Entry, Duluth, MN, Oct-Nov 2022
This dataset is comprised of three files containing northing, easting, and elevation ("XYZ") information for light detection and ranging (lidar) data representing the beach topography and sonar data representing near-shore bathymetry of Lake Superior at Minnesota Point, near the Duluth entry, Duluth, Minnesota. The point data are the same as that in the LAS files that were used to create the digital elevation models (DEMs) of the approximate 1.78 square kilometer surveyed area. Lidar data were collected November 01, 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 October 31-November 01, 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 November 01, 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.
