AKA: none

Other ID: T-1-01-LM

Status: Completed

Organization(s): USGS, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center

Funding Program(s): Lidar Mapping of Northern Lake Michigan Trout Spawning Reefs (MU159)

Principal Investigator(s): Peter Barnes

Affiliate Investigator(s):

Information Specialist(s): PARTNER

Data Type(s): Environmental Data: Light, Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography), Sampling: Geology, Environmental Data: Turbidity, Location-Elevation: Navigation

Scientific Purpose/Goals: To collect lidar bathymetry of Lake Trout spawning areas in northern Lake Michigan from Shoals Mapping System (Usace/ J.E. Chance & Associates). To collect substrate data and water column clarity of reefs use in interpreting Lidar images to collect spectral reflectance of water column to use in analysis of return Lidar Signal Wave-Form For classification of Benthic Albedo.
