March datasets include aerial images from natural color (RGB) and thermal infra-red (TIR) sensors across the JHNWR and adjacent tributaries as well as the nearby Clearview Landfill within the superfund site. August datasets include aerial images from natural color (RGB), thermal-infrared (TIR), multispectral sensors, and raw lidar over the Clearview Landfill only. These datasets were processed to produce high resolution digital elevation models (DEM), image mosaics, and lidar point clouds (LPC). Black and white cross-coded ground control points (GCPs) were surveyed using Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS and RTK-GPS enabled AeroPoints to georeference the model and orthomosaics during post-processing. The elevation and imagery products were produced to help partners at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) acquire accurate elevation data for target sites during the winter "leaf-off" period (March) and monitor changes in vegetation cover during peak growing season (August) building a baseline conditions dataset starting in August 2023. The March field collection included more baseline lidar data for additional large swaths of the National Wildlife Refuge as well as the thermal imagery dataset, which is the only planned thermal survey, and as a result took several days to complete. Although lidar was collecting during the August field effort, the focus was for vegetation at the Clearview Landfill and so only required one day of surveying. Future data collections are planned to support long-term monitoring of landscape change resulting from remediation efforts and potential storm impacts. Purpose: Lidar data were collected to penetrate vegetation canopy and provide accurate digital terrain models (DTMs) during the winter "leaf-off" period. Aerial imagery was collected with appropriate resolution and overlap to permit high-quality photogrammetry and generation of digital surface models (DSM) and orthoimagery. TIR imagery was collected over channels within the Wildlife Refuge to identify potential groundwater seeps. Supplemental_Information: These data were collected by the USGS Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program under USGS field activity number 2024-006-FA.

Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20211039 Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Lidar point clouds: A YellowScan Mapper Plus (YSMP) high-density lidar system, containing a Livox Avia lidar sensor, Applanix inertial measurement unit (IMU) and GPS/GNSS antenna, and natural color RGB SONY UMC-10RC camera module, was mounted to a DJI Matrice 600 uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) to collect low-altitude aerial lidar point cloud (LPC) data and simultaneous overlapping natural color color images. GPS/GNSS data from real-time kinematic (RTK) base station collecting positions on a known point at 1-hz for the duration of the lidar surveys is used for post-processing kinematic (PPK) corrections of the lidar system trajectory positions. Accuracy of the point clouds can be influenced by the flight altitude, velocity, positions of satellites, terrain, overlap, and atmospheric conditions. Returns are scattered or lost over water, resulting in large bands of no data. This does not impact the goal of the data collection, which is focused on the elevation of the land. Positional accuracy of the processed point cloud can be assessed using RTK-surveyed ground control points and checkpoints (see ground control and checkpoints section below). Horizontal accuracy can be difficult to assess due to difficulty visualizing the cross-checkered pattern of the ground control targets in the point cloud. Ground control and checkpoints: Ground control points (GCPs) are highly visible, typically square and cross-checkered black and white (or light grey), targets designed to be easily identifiable in aerial remote sensing data. RTK-GPS embedded, Wi-Fi enabled grey and black foam Propeller AeroPoints were used to collect continuous location and elevation data as GCPs. To improve visibility in the lidar point cloud, 2x2 meter square vinyl targets, with the same cross-checkered pattern as the AeroPoints were placed underneath the AeroPoints, with grey and black areas aligned. RTK-GPS: GPS point accuracy is assessed based on occupations of a known reference mark and GPS point precision is based on a positioning solution within 1-3 cm or “FIX” for each point and root mean square values of the position. Elevation products: The positional accuracy of elevation and image mosaic rasters are typically determined from RTK-surveyed GCPs and check points. GCPs are surveyed targets visible in aerial imagery that are used to georeference the model, while check points are independent of the model and can be used for post-validation. Certain products generated from data collected over the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge did not contain GCPs due to poor accessibility; however, checkpoints were surveyed in some discrete locations within the Wildlife Refuge allowing for some localized assessment of vertical accuracy. GCPs and checkpoints were surveyed at the Clearview Landfill survey location. Accuracy degrades toward the edges of the raster products due to the absence of GCPs as well as the lack of overlap along the perimeter of the flight plan and angle of the images where the UAS is turning. Logical_Consistency_Report: UAS data collection: Most missions require multiple flights to complete due to battery limitations. Between individual flights, the camera/sensor settings and mission plan specifications are not changed to ensure consistent data/imagery collection. Following each flight, data is downloaded to a field computer, copied to an external storage device, and later uploaded to a data server. For lidar data, the RGB photos are verified, and the scanner data is plotted in an offline version of YellowScan CloudStation between each flight to verify the scanner was operating as expected and that there are no areas of missing data. Images are also plotted in a photogrammetry software to verify no missing sections of the flight plan before continuing with the mission. GPS data: All RTK-GPS rover data were exported as a single tabular comma-separated values (CSV) file using Microsoft Excel v. 2208. AeroPoint data are uploaded via a WiFi connection to a user defined account on propelleraero.com. The raw data are processed by Propeller and exported to a CSV file. Image Data Management: Aerial images were organized into directories labeled by flight number and then transferred to an external drive and later uploaded to the AIMG server. Images were renamed to include the field activity number (FAN), flight number, camera ID, date and time (UTC), and original filename. Gaps in consecutive flight numbers may be due to a variety of reasons, including no photos being collected during a particular flight, failure to initiate camera, or issues with the imagery during a particular flight. Metadata contained in image file headers were modified for all photos to include standard USGS tags. The natural color images from the YellowScan camera module were manually geotagged using a script that accesses the UAS telemetry logs (tlogs). The natural color and thermal-IR images from the XT2 are geotagged via the M600 hand controller. Due to an unknown error, altitude values were incorrectly geotagged, varying from flight to flight by hundreds of meters; however, positional information of imagery is helpful, but not necessary for photogrammetric processing, and so these altitude values can be ignored. See the the processing steps in Lineage for more information. All processing was done by members of the Aerial Imaging and Mapping Group (AIMG). Completeness_Report: Lidar data: Data was collected over 13 flights over the Clearview Landfill and John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge with the YellowScan Mapper Plus (YSMP) system. The resulting data included 7 .ys, .lvx, and .T04 scanner data files. These files were used in the creation of the .laz point cloud file, but are not included in this data release. One LPC was produced for the survey area over the Clearview Landfill totaling 1.06 GB while the larger survey area within the National Wildlife Refuge was processed in three sections to generate three LPCs totaling 17.1 GB. A digital surface model (DSM) and digital terrain model (DTM) were generated for the Clearview Landfill, totaling 1.01 GB, and three DSMs and three DTMs for the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge, totaling 8.54 GB. Aerial Imagery: Gaps in sequential 2-second photo intervals exist where photos were removed from the collection. Photos can be removed for reasons including, collected outside flight plan bounds, poor photo quality, overexposure, or redundancy. The final image count for the YSMP natural color imagery in this data release is 5,502 images totaling 40.3 gigabytes (GB). The final image count for the XTS natural color and thermal imagery in this data release is 2,228 images totaling 4.39 GB in size. Images were geotagged either manually or by an integrated GPS in the sensor. Image location information is provided in the CSV files titled "2024006FA_Clearview_Mar2024_YSMP_ImageLocs.csv", "2024006FA_Darby_Mar2024_XT2_ImageLocs.csv", "2024006FA_Heinz_Henderson_Mar2024_YSMP_ImageLocs.csv", "2024006FA_Heinz_LowerImpoundment_Mar2024_YSMP_ImageLocs.csv" and "2024006FA_Heinz_TurkeyFoot_Mar2024_YSMP_ImageLocs.csv." Structure-from-motion (SfM) processing: Images that were collected outside the bounds of the flight plan, whose photo quality was poor, were overexposed, or were redundant were disabled and excluded from the photogrammetric model processing. Only enabled images that were used in the photogrammetric model were included in this data release. GPS data: A total of 75 surveyed points within the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge collected on 3/17/2024 are included in the "2024006FA_Darby_Mar2024_SP80.csv" dataset. 10 AeroPoints were deployed on 3/15/2024 across the Clearview Landfill and are included in the dataset. These points are saved in tabular format in two CSV files titled "2023020FA_20230828_AeroPoints.csv", "2024006FA_Darby_Mar2024_SP80.csv", and "2024006FA_Clearview_Mar2024_AeroPoint.csv" Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Lidar data: Determining horizontal positional accuracy using ground control is difficult due to poor visualization of the center location of ground control targets in the LPC. Considering the GNSS reference accuracy of ~5 cm, a conservative horizontal positional error estimate could be considered up to 10 cm. Aerial Imagery: YellowScan Mapper+ camera module images were manually geotagged using the drone telemetry logs (tlogs), while the XT2 images were geotagged via the DJI M600 UAS hand controller, which gathers the GPS information from the M600 onboard GPS and transmits to the XT2, and embeds the information to the images in real time. The DJI M600 is equipped with a DJI A3 GPS, which receives signals from GPS and GLONASS satellites in WGS84 (EPSG::4326), but is otherwise uncorrected. Horizontal locations are considered accurate to approximately 0.5 meters, but may be greater than 10 meters due to UAS flight path uncertainty. Where present, it is recommended to use the ground control points in the CSV files "2024006FA_Clearview_Mar2024_AeroPoint.csv" provided in the larger work citation for georeferencing. left off here Structure-from-motion (SfM) processing: Horizontal RMSE of photogrammetric models at the Clearview Landfill where GCPs were deployed is 0.11 m. Photogrammetric models of the Darby Creek and tributaries using the XT2 RGB and thermal imagery lack GCPs. As a result, the orthomosaic georeferencing relies solely on autonomous GPS positioning. Horizontal RMSE estimates based on processing in Agisoft Metashape is 2.73 m. These estimates have not been independently validated. GPS Data: Horizontal positions for the AeroPoint targets are determined from the embedded RTK-GPS. The internal theoretical horizontal accuracy is 10 mm. The global horizontal accuracy is calculated using the following equation: global horizontal accuracy (mm) = internal horizontal accuracy (mm) + longest baseline distance (km) * 2. The resultant global horizontal accuracy of AeroPoint positions is 0.018 m. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Lidar data: Using the SP80 RTK-surveyed points and AeroPoint targets as checkpoints, the lidar QC tool in Global Mapper v. 26.0 was used to determine the root mean square error (RMSE) of point cloud compared to the checkpoints. AeroPoints were used to assess the LPC of the Clearview Landfill (2024006FA_Clearview_Mar2024_YSMP_LPC) while the RTK rover checkpoints all fell within the point cloud for the Westernmost LPC (2024006FA_Heinz_Henderson_Mar2024_YSMP_LPC) of the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge. The point spacing was set to 3 (~12 cm), which averages the elevation value of points falling within a 3 point buffer from the checkpoint position. Due to the variable conditions between the Wildlife Refuge and the Landfill, the resulting RMSE values were significantly different. The vertical RMSE determined from the AeroPoint target positions for the Clearview Landfill LPC was 3.30 cm, while the vertical RMSE for the Wildlife Refuge LPC was 17.5 cm. This discrepancy is likely due certain conditions, including: (1) The lack of tall and dense vegetation on the landfill, while the Refuge contained dense vegetated areas, especially along the paths where the checkpoints were surveyed, and (2) the nature of placement of the AeroPoint ground control targets, which tend to be open and flat, relatively unvegetated, locations. Aerial Imagery: YellowScan Mapper+ camera module images were manually geotagged using the drone telemetry logs (tlogs), while the XT2 images were geotagged via the DJI M600 UAS hand controller, which gathers the GPS information from the M600 onboard GPS and transmits to the XT2, and embeds the information to the images in real time. It is important to note that due to an unknown error, the vertical position values (altitude) in the XT2 images were incorrectly tagged by the hand controller and should not be considered accurate or usable. The DJI M600 is equipped with a DJI A3 GPS, which receives signals from GPS and GLONASS satellites in WGS84 (EPSG::4326), but is otherwise uncorrected. Horizontal locations are considered accurate to approximately 0.5 meters, but may be greater than 10 meters due to UAS flight path uncertainty. Where present, it is recommended to use the ground control points in the CSV files "2024006FA_Clearview_Mar2024_AeroPoint.csv" provided in the larger work citation for georeferencing. Structure-from-motion (SfM) processing: Elevation rasters from photogrammetric processing is not provided in this data release, but the SfM model was used to generate the orthomosaics so the vertical accuracy is still provided. Photogrammetric models at the Clearview Landfill where GCPs were deployed have an estimated vertical accuracy of 0.10 m. Photogrammetric models of the Darby Creek and tributaries using the XT2 RGB and thermal imagery lacks ground control. As a result, the orthomosaic georeferencing relies solely on autonomous GPS positioning. Vertical RMSE Estimates based on processing in Agisoft Metashape is 1.73 m. These estimates have not been independently validated. GPS Data: Vertical positions for the AeroPoint targets are determined from the embedded RTK-GPS. The internal theoretical vertical accuracy is 10 mm. The global vertical accuracy is calculated using the following equation: global vertical accuracy (mm) = internal vertical accuracy (mm) + longest baseline distance (km) * 2. The resultant global vertical accuracy of AeroPoint positions is 0.028 m. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: RTK-GPS Base Station and Rover: A Spectra Precision model SP80 GNSS base station receiving real-time differential corrections from the satellites was set up to collect positions in Receiver Independent Exchange (RINEX) format at 1 hz on a known point prior to and for the duration of lidar data surveys. The base station was operating every day of field collection between 3/13/2024 - 3/17/2024. A SP80 rover receiving real-time differential corrections from the Pennsylvania CORS network was used to survey points across the field area, including ground position validation points on 3/17/2024. The RTK receivers for both the base and rover are linked via Bluetooth to a handheld data collector (Carlson CHC LT30 Handheld Terminal running Carlson SurvCE v. 4.06 software under Windows Mobile v. 6.1 Professional operating system). Rover antennas were mounted on 2 m survey rods with bubble levels and 5 cm (2 inch) sand feet. Conversions from satellite coordinates to NAD83(2011) UTM zone 18N (EPSG::6347) and NAVD88 (EPSG::5703) were made by Carlson SurvCE software in the data collector. Process_Date: 20240317 Process_Step: Process_Description: Ground control: AeroPoint targets were emplaced on flat, stable surfaces, with clear view of the sky and left undisturbed, collecting data for at least 2 hours. AeroPoint data was uploaded via a WiFi connection to a user defined account on propelleraero.com. The raw data are processed by Propeller and exported to a CSV file in NAD83(2011) UTM zone 18N (EPSG::6347) for horizontal and NAVD88 (geoid 18) (EPSG::5703) for vertical. Process_Date: 20240315 Process_Step: Process_Description: Lidar System: A YellowScan Mapper Plus (YSMP) high-density lidar system containing a lidar sensor and natural color (RGB) camera module was mounted to a DJI Matrice 600 (M600) uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) to collect low-altitude aerial lidar point cloud (LPC) data and simultaneous overlapping natural color (RGB) images. Lidar flights occurred between 3/13/2024 and 3/17/2024. A configuration text file (CONFIG.TXT) is pre-loaded onto the lidar USB thumb drive and was edited to control lidar and camera module settings, including the camera triggering height, the camera triggering interval, and the lidar scan pattern. For this field area over marsh and forested terrain, a point density of ~300 points per square meter (ppsqm) was targeted with a non-repetitive (spirograph) scan pattern. The flight plans for this project targeted a swath overlap of 50% with the following flight parameters: altitude of 61 m, flight line spacing at 45 m, a velocity of 10 m/s, and a 2-second camera triggering interval. At these parameters, the natural color RGB camera module was set to trigger every 3 seconds to achieve 50% sidelap and forelap for colorization of the LPC in post-processing. For every lidar UAS flight, the following steps were followed to properly operate the system and collect data: After powering on the UAS and lidar system, the GPS, scanner, and camera module all must initialize. After takeoff, an additional initialization pattern must be manually flown by the pilot to signal to the IMU to begin collecting lidar data. This pattern consists of a forward, back, and forward flight path ending with a hook-shaped coordinated turn on the last forward maneuver. It is best practice that this is flown below the camera triggering altitude. Once the maneuver is completed, the UAS is ascended to the camera triggering altitude where the RGB camera module sets the ISO for the entire flight. It is recommended to make this altitude close to the flight plan altitude. The mission is uploaded to the UAS and it begins the automated flight plan. When the data collection is finished or batteries require swapping, the same initialization pattern flown at the beginning is flown again to de-initialize the scanner. The lidar data is saved to a 256 GB USB thumb drive in three different files: (1) the IMU+GPS data, decimated for quick post-processing, in binary *.ys format, (2) the scanner data in *.lvx format (~600 MB per minute of data collection), (3) and the complete IMU+GPS data in Applanix (Trimble) binary *.t04 format. The RGB images are saved to a 64 GB micro-SD card as *.jpeg files. The camera triggering time-interval was determined and set based on the focal length and ground sampling distance (GSD) of the camera as well as the altitude and speed of the UAS in order to achieve ~50% forelap between adjacent photos for colorizing the lidar point cloud. The camera triggering interval as well as the altitude at which the camera automatically sets the ISO for the scene is written into a configuration file located on a USB stick that is plugged into the YellowScan Mapper Plus system. Process_Date: 20240317 Process_Step: Process_Description: Thermal Camera: Thermal infra-red (TIR) and natural color (RGB) aerial images were collected using a DJI Zenmuse XT2 camera mounted to a DJI M600 UAS. TIR and RGB imagery flights occurred between 3/13/2024 and 3/16/2024. The XT2 camera was set to high gain scene range, which has a higher sensitivity to temperature differences over a smaller range (-13 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit). The Darby Creek main channel and tributaries were surveyed with corridor type mapping flight plan design. Flight plans targeted a photo sidelap and forelap of 75%, sufficient for photogrammetric processing by following these flight parameters: 61 meters altitude, 3 m/s velocity, and a 3-second camera triggering interval. The TIR and RGB images were saved to a 128 GB micro-SD card as *.tiff and *.jpeg files, respectively. Process_Date: 20240316 Process_Step: Process_Description: Lidar data processing: After each data collection, the three data files are stored on the USB thumb drive in a folder following a naming scheme of "YS-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS" where YS is the acronym for YellowScan, YYYYMMDD is the date stamp, and HHMMSS is the time stamp in UTC time (e.g. YS-20230830-171402). Within this folder are the three files containing the IMU+GPS data in .ys and .t04 format and the scanner data in *.lvx format, which follow the same naming scheme as the parent folder. The RGB images are stored on the SD card following a naming scheme of DSC#####.JPG (e.g. DSC00001.JPG). Upon import of the raw scanner data (.ys file) for each flight to YellowScan CloudStation v. 2210.0.0, the sensor's Lidar (.profile) and Camera (.camera) profiles, provided by the vendor, are selected for the project and the project coordinate reference system is defined. CloudStation auto-identifies sensor position trajectories that are to be included in the model based on their length and linearity, but adjustments are usually required as the software will sometimes misidentify trajectories that should not be included, such as the path the UAS took to reach the first waypoint of the mission or leave out paths that are considered too short. If there is a slight waiver in a flight path, the software will sometimes cut off the ends of the flight paths. The .T04 file and base station GNSS RINEX file were used to correct and optimize the sensor position trajectories using th GNSS Inertial Processor and produce a Smoothed Best Estimate of Trajectory (SBET) file in .txt ASCII format, which represents the Post Processing Kinematic (PPK) Solution. The lever arm offsets and boresight angle corrections were applied to the LPC, along with a strip adjustment between transect swaths using CloudStation's "robust" setting. The LPC was then colorized using the images. The Cut Overlap function was applied to remove redundant points based on the closest parallel flight trajectory. The unclassified LPC model was then exported from CloudStation as a 1.4 LAZ file. The LPCs were brought into Global Mapper (v. 26.0) and manually cleaned by reclassifying or removing points interpreted to be noise, points that were either not classified or incorrectly classified as ground or are above a reasonable elevation threshold based on the surrounding features. The LPCs were exported as a 1.4 LAZ files. To produce the DSMs, the LPCs are gridded in Global Mapper using maximum values and exported to geotiff format. To produce DTMs, only the ground points are gridded using maximum values and exported to geotiff format. All files were exported in EPSG:6347 NAD83(2011)/UTM zone 18N and the vertical datum in EPSG:5703 NAVD88 using Geoid 18. Process_Date: 20240316 Process_Step: Process_Description: Imagery processing: Telemetry navigation logs for each flight were exported from the Ignis app in GPX format and used to manually geotag the imagery from the YellowScan Mapper Plus camera modules in preparation for photogrammetric processing. Image timestamps were adjusted to UTC time depending on time zone and daylight saving. These corrections were done using the program ExifTool. ExifTool uses linear interpolation to determine the position of the device at the time recorded in the image. This creates values for tags GPSLatitude, GPS LatitudeRef, GPSLongitude, GPSLongitudeRef, GPSAltitude, GPSTimeStamp, GPSDateStamp. A sample of code used to geotag images: exiftool -v2 -geotag ../../telemetry/Nav_FlightLogs/Flight\ Logs\ GPX/flight_log_2022_10_10_14_02_42_AGL.gpx -geosync=+16 '-geotime<${DateTimeOriginal}-04:00' -P f05XT2c/*.JPG. All images were renamed to ensure unique filenames following the USGS Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program's best practices for image naming convention: "FieldActivityNumber_f##sensorID_YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS_OriginalFilename.tif" (e.g. "2024006FA_f05XT2c_20240313T155702Z_DJI_0184.jpg") Field activity number is a unique identifier assigned to the field effort under which the data was collected (e.g. 2024006FA), f## denotes the flight in which the photos were taken (e.g. f05), sensor ID is the sensor or camera used to collect the imagery (e.g. XT2c = Zenmuse XT2 natural color RGB camera; XT2t = Zenmuse XT2 thermal infra-red TIR camera, YSMP = YellowScan Mapper Plus), 'YYYYMMDD' is the UTC date, 'HHMMSS' is UTC time and the 'T' is used to separate the UTC date from UTC time, and the original filename is appended to the end. To ensure compliance with USGS Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program's best practices for image exif, exif tags were added using a CSV containing header information for each photo. A sample of the code used to edit the image tags using ExifTool version 12.52: 'exiftool -csv="C:\directory\name\EXIF.csv" C:\directory\name\of\photos *.[ext] The following tags were added to the image exif: -IPTC:Credit="U.S. Geological Survey" -IPTC:Contact="WHSC_data_contact@usgs.gov" -EXIF:Copyright="Public Domain" -XMP:UsageTerms="Unless otherwise stated, all data, metadata and related materials are considered to satisfy the quality standards relative to the purpose for which the data were collected.

A project was created in Metashape and imagery specific to each sensor and flight area were imported. 2. Photos were aligned at a low accuracy and then GCPs were automatically detected in the point cloud. GCP positions (2024006FA_Clearview_Mar2024_AeroPoint.csv) were added to the project in the reference systems NAD83(2011)/UTM Zone 18N and NAVD88 (geoid 18). The horizontal and vertical accuracies for the GCPs were set to 0.04/0.02 m, respectively, and the camera positions for the images were turned off. The photos were then re-aligned with high accuracy (the pixels were not subsampled) using a key point limit of 60,000 and unlimited tie points. 3. The alignment process matched pixels between images to create point clouds and put the imagery into a relative spatial context using the GCPs. The resultant point clouds were filtered using one iteration of the 'Reconstruction uncertainty' filter at a level of 10, one iteration of the 'Projection accuracy' filter at a level of 3, and eight iterations of the 'Reprojection accuracy' filter to get to a level of 0.3. With each filter, iteration points are selected, deleted, and then the camera model was optimized to refine the focal length, cx, cy, k1, k2, k3, p1, and p2 camera model coefficients. 4. Multiple ‘chunks’ were created so that a high-quality dense cloud with a low-frequency filtering algorithm could be made from the images. The dense point cloud was then edited by visual inspection and Metashape’s confidence filter to remove points with a low confidence near the edges and near water bodies. 5. A DSM was built from the dense point cloud and then an orthomosaic was built from the DSM with refined seamlines. The DSMs are exported in the coordinate reference system (CRS) EPSG:6347 NAD83(2011)/UTM18N coordinate reference system (CRS) and the vertical reference system EPSG:5703 NAVD88 (Geoid 18).
