LiDAR (MCC) in Challis National Forest, Idaho (142 Tiles)

These LiDAR data were collected to measure the effect of bark-beetle outbreak on the above-ground forest carbon stocks and to estimate carbon of a beetle-infested forest.

This data series contains 142 Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) LAS (version 1.2 format) tiles. The data cover an area of the Challis National Forest near Stanley Idaho. The original LiDAR data was collected by Watershed Sciences, Inc. (WS) on August 4th and 5th, 2010. Ground point classification was done using the command-line tool MCC-LIDAR (http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mcclidar/) that incorporates a multiscale curvature algorithm. This algorithm requires two variables: a scale parameter and a threshold parameter. For each of the tiles the scale parameter was 0.66667 and the threshold parameter was 0.07.

Each tile in the dataset includes a supplemental information section with a listing of the LAS headers.
