2-foot Elevation contours of beach topography and near-shore bathymetry of Lake Superior at the Duluth Entry, Duluth, MN, July 2020
Description
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 near-shore bathymetry of Lake Superior at the Duluth entry, Duluth, Minnesota. The DEM has a 10-meter (m; 32.8084 feet) cell size and was created from a LAS dataset of terrestrial light detection and ranging (lidar) data representing the beach topography, and multibeam sonar data representing the bathymetry. The survey area extended approximately 0.85 kilometer (0.5 miles) offshore, for an approximately 1.87 square kilometer surveyed area. Lidar data were collected July 28, 2020 using a boat mounted Velodyne unit. Multibeam sonar data were collected July 28-29, 2020 using a Norbit integrated wide band multibeam system compact (iWBMSc) sonar unit.
